Talbott Inn

Kentucky


This 15-room property in a 1913 historic building next to Old Talbott Tavern has stepped up the sleeping game in Bardstown. Large rooms feature exposed brick, Court Sq views and bathrooms with plantation-style shutters. An original walk-in vault is now a closet in room 102, and rooms 206 and 207 boast soaker bathtubs.

Historic Kentucky Bourbon Festival posters line the hallways. Breakfast (included) is taken next door at the Old Talbott Tavern.
