The Kentucky Castle
The Kentucky Castle is committed to becoming the world's greatest farm to table restaurant, boutique hotel, spa and event space. Our boutique hotel was recently named by Architecture Digest as "The Most Beautiful Hotel in Kentucky", and we're welcoming guests nightly. Our goal is to treat every guest with the level of care and attention that we would want our family to be treated. We also want to be a force for good in the community and a light on the hill. We accomplish this through our Kentucky Fairytale program. Our farm to table restaurant sources ingredients from local farms. However, our goal is to create as much of our food as possible on our 55 acres, and we're actively working towards that goal. We have plans for an organic garden, apiary, lake for aquaculture, vineyards, fruit and nut orchards, truffle orchard, gourmet mushroom garden, pastureland for cattle, goats, and sheep, and much more. We were recently named the #1 restaurant in KY to try in 2018 and we were also named the #1 most romantic restaurant in the state of Kentucky by Reader's Digest. We have private event spaces for small groups such as 15-30 in our Parlor. Groups of 40-150 can reserve our Ballroom for special events, and the Rooftop is an amazing space that can accommodate as many as 350 or 200 for a seated dinner. Our newest venue, the Greenhouse, is a fully HVAC controlled greenhouse that can accommodate groups of up to 300 for dining or 500 for a concert. By utilizing our tent and outdoor space we can easily accommodate groups of 1,000 or more. We have multiple spaces for an absolutely magical wedding or an unforgettable corporate retreat or dinner. Located in our onsite cottage and overlooking a beautiful horse farm, The Kentucky Castle Spa, redefines luxury and indulgence in a truly serene setting. Featuring a cryotherapy chamber, sauna, float tank, massage room, and more, this advanced spa is an alluring getaway.
