Come to Louisville to enjoy Broadway musicals, internationally renowned ballet and the music of the Louisville Orchestra. The Seelbach Hilton is located in the center of the downtown arts and culture community. There are also festivals throughout the year where you can enjoy outdoor concerts and entertainment.
For pre- or post-theater dining, come by The Oakroom for historic ambiance and an award-winning meal. Many years ago, writer F. Scott Fitzgerald came to sip bourbon in The Seelbach's elegant atmosphere. Fitzgerald even chose The Seelbach as the backdrop of Tom and Daisy's wedding in "The Great Gatsby."
