The Bluegrass State is home to numerous historic accommodations and incredible resorts, but nothing holds a candle to The Kentucky Castle. A spectacular destination in and of itself, The Kentucky Castle is a real-life kingdom in the hills of Horse Country. This majestic property is wonderfully unusual and has a top-rated spa, luxurious accommodations, and an award-winning farm-to-table restaurant. The Kentucky Castle is as enchanting as it gets, and you’ll be utterly blown away by this surprising royal treasure that is, in our opinion, the best hotel in the state.

The Kentucky Castle is a majestic property that sits on 100 acres in Versailles, not far from Lexington and right in the heart of Horse Country. This is the kind of pristine and pastoral rolling landscape most people associate with Kentucky.
