Flight
Blue Grass is a very easy, small airport serviced by Delta, American, United, and Allegiant. The baggage carousel will alert you that it's starting by playing the bugle tune that calls Thoroughbreds to the starting gate on race day. The airport is right next to Keeneland and about 10 minutes' drive from downtown.
Flight
The airports in Cincinnati and Louisville are both about an hour and fifteen minutes from downtown. They are larger than the Lexington airport and are serviced by a wider variety of airlines, including Frontier and Southwest. There are airport shuttles and rental cars available from both. Bonus: If you fly into Louisville, you might catch a bit of the Derby Week excitement on your way home!
Hotel
Eclectic, modern hotel and art gallery built into an old bank building in the heart of downtown. There's a big blue penguin statue by the valet station, and a lot of natural light in the galleries. The restaurant serves fresh, modern, southern cuisine, and there is $5 drop-in yoga in the art galleries on Sunday mornings. Within a few blocks of the drop-off/pick-up point for the shuttle to the venue.
Hotel
It's a Hilton. Within a few blocks of the drop-off/pick-up point for the shuttle to the venue. Free shuttle to/from airport. The link here will take you directly to the booking site for our group reservation.
Discount Code - BURSYK. Room rates starting at $189.
Hotel
The other big chain downtown hotel. They would not give us a group discount because of how busy they expect to be that weekend.
Hotel
Farther from downtown but closer to our house, for friends and family who may be tasked with running back and forth between the house and the venue. Link takes you to group-rate booking.
Hotel
There is a castle that operates as a B&B out by the airport and Keeneland, about 15 minutes from the Polo Barn and 15 minutes from downtown. It was built in the 1960s to look like an old Scottish castle. It's not a particularly practical option, since the shuttle won't run there and the rooms aren't cheap, but if you want to stay in a Scottish castle in Kentucky, this is how to do it.
House Or Rental
AirBnB has some options, but not a ton. Again, book early if you're able. There are campgrounds nearby. They will probably be crowded with people in town for the Kentucky Three-Day Event, in particular at the Kentucky Horse Park. Finally, we have a few very kind and generous friends in town. If you want to come and the expense of lodging is prohibitive for you, please let us know and we will try to match you to a local spare-bed situation.
Rental Car
This is Kentucky, not 2008. Uber and Lyft work just fine here, though your wait times may be longer than in major metro centers (5-10 minutes unless it's very late at night).
Shuttle
April 28, 2018 5:00 pm - 12:00 am
We will have a guest shuttle running between downtown and the wedding venue during the wedding. Please check back later for details, and if you're interested in using the service, let us know on your RSVP.
