Where should I stay during the Kentucky Derby?
The economical impact on the region is estimated at $400 million dollars! The local hotel industry usually sells out from Thursday through Sunday. Even the cheapest of low star motel rooms that typically go for $50 a night will be listed for $300-500+ a night. If you are looking for the best Kentucky Derby rental with a fair price, please check out the available condos that are listed on this website! The condos are all located in the Highlands neighborhood which is one of the most fun and safest areas in all of Louisville. You can walk to restaurants and night life. Most people do not actually stay within walking distance to the race-track as there is not much around there at all. An Uber or Lyft is fairly cheap.
If you have a group larger than 6 people, consider booking them both!

Men also love to dress their best for the Kentucky Derby. With ladies its the hats, for men it is about the color palette for the gents. Pastels, tropical colors, plaids and stripes are all popular choices for an appearance at Churchill Downs. If you want to put out a classic vibe, you can’t go wrong with a seersucker suit. However, for a bold look, choose brightly colored pants and a matching dress shirt. Don’t be afraid of eye-catching patterns; all it takes is the right attitude to pull it off. Bring it all together with a solid blazer, such as a navy jacket.
