We recommend booking hotels as soon as you know you're coming, things get booked up with Keeneland. We put a few hotel options below, but there are tons downtown (walkable to coffee, restaurants and a quick ride to nighttime events).
Flight
Lexington Airport or Cincinnati Airport
Fly into Lexington directly or CVG (famously located in Northern Kentucky!)
Hotel
The Manchester
941 Manchester Street Lexington, KY 40508
$$$ Groovy little spot equidistant from The Apiary and the Burl. Likely on the higher end!
