The Aleksander House Bed and Breakfast, is a gracious 1882 Victorian home, centrally located in historic "Old Louisville, the third largest preservation area in the country. In addition, the city of Louisville has more Victorian houses and in-tact stained glass than any other city in the United States. Here, at the Aleksander House, we offer romantic Sweetheart Packages, Spa Packages and other get-away specials. Near shops, restaurants, museums and many other attractions, our three-story brick building is completely restored and listed on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks. Our rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable and our rates are reasonable.

Inside are 14 foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, light fixtures, stained glass and fireplaces. The walls of the spacious dining room are lined with French Toile paper and prints of 19th century French Impressionists. A full, gourmet breakfast is served here each morning featuring savory & sweet specialties, along with fresh whole bean coffees, fine teas, homemade granolas, muffins and jams. Two sweeping staircases lead to the second and third floor guestrooms, each uniquely decorated in eclectic or period furnishings with fine linens and down comforters.

Louisville is the home of the Kentucky Derby, which is run at Churchill Downs Race track each year on the first Saturday in May. The city celebrates this event by staging a two-three week long festival. The Aleksander House is 14 blocks from Churchill Downs and within blocks of most Kentucky Derby Festival events. The Festival’s opening ceremonies begin with "Thunder Over Louisville", which is the largest annual fireworks show in North America. This spectacular fireworks and air show on the Ohio River can be seen for miles along the Kentucky and Indiana shorelines. Thunder Over Louisville sets the stage for the many festival events which lead up to the Kentucky Derby. The festival is one of the premier events of its kind in the world, giving Louisville international attention.
