Book Hotels in Frankfort, Kentucky

When you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the digital age (Don’t we all?), journey to Frankfort, Kentucky. As one of the smallest state capitals in the country, Frankfort is like a time capsule of Southern living where bygone traditions thrive and you can still bite into chicken fried in shortening. You might think someone turned back the clock as you stroll between colorful brick storefronts and stand on the steps of the Old State Capitol, but the city’s signature floral timepiece does indeed keep ticking, one sprig of heather at a time. Book one of our historic (or modern) hotels in Frankfort, KY and travel across more than miles.

Visiting Frankfort

As you explore the centuries, indulge in one of our thoroughly modern Frankfort rental cars, as the city is best navigated from the seat of an automobile. Start your journey in the historic heart of Kentucky. You won’t see any high-rises towering over this city skyline. Instead, the Old State Capitol is an anchor of the downtown area—and yes, many of the Frankfort hotels follow suit. Peel back the centuries as you pass the austere brick facade of the Old Governor’s Mansion and wander through the collections at the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History. Let the region’s past teach you through folly and success what sort of histories are worth repeating. As soon as you take one pecan-filled bite of Derby pie, you’ll be able to name at least one generations-old tradition worth passing down again and again. To taste this delectable treat in its hometown, take a food foray to Louisville, just 54 miles west of Frankfort. Add a Hot Brown sandwich and you’ll sleep like a baby in one of our hotels in Louisville, so plan ahead…
