LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It's only been open for a couple of months, but one of Louisville's newest hotels is already getting national recognition. Hotel Distil has been nominated for USA Today's 2020 10Best Readers' Choice Travel Awards.
Located on the historic Whiskey Row, Hotel Distil is one of 20 hotels that were nominated for the best hotel opening in 2019. The nominations were chosen by a panel of travel experts selected by USA Today.
Hotel Distill opened in October with more than 200 guest rooms, a steakhouse, and an outdoor rooftop bar. Besides its rich history and bourbon-inspired design, Hotel Distil is also known for having the "most female leaders in Louisville hospitality."
According to a 2017 hospitality study, only one in four females occupy the executive ranks of hotel companies. Seven of Hotel Distil’s leadership positions, including General Manager and Director of Finance, are held by women.
Other nominees in the category include The Daytona in Daytona Beach, FL, Maison De La Luz in New Orleans, and the Margaritaville Hotel in Nashville.
You can vote for Hotel Distil once a day until noon on Monday, December 30 at this link. The top 10 winners will be announced on January 10, 2020.
