Amazing aesthetic, this stay was cozy, clean, unique. I just loved everything about it, the staff was cool and genuinely nice. I wish we had more time to stay to check out the rooftop bar. Would recommend getting a room!

Very friendly and helpful people at the front desk. The whole hotel has a wonderful feel.
The hotel was very nice with a nice atmosphere when you entered the lobby. Nice area with a bar and seating area.
The room was nicely decorated and was comfortable. Could hear the people next door talking and music thumping from the rooftop bar in the evening. Walls are pretty thin there!
Overall the atmosphere and overall experience was good and I would more than likely return.
Great stay at the Manchester. Beautiful lobby and restaurants and super helpful staff. Despite other reviewers complaining about noise, we found it to be quiet and peaceful (stayed 5 nights). Complimentary coffee was excellent and the many of the food items reasonably priced. A few tweaks might make the stay truly too notch but the hotel exceeded my expectations. Probably the closest thing you’ll get to a SoHo house as you’ll get in Kentucky!
Had an exceptional stay at The Manchester. Everyone who worked there was fantastic. I normally don't visit hotel restaurants and bars but these were perfectly curated to the city and had exceptional service.
The room was impeccable and the staff were excellent and attended to all our needs. The on-site restaurant and bar were so good I didn’t want to leave the property.
It was a beautiful place to stay.A great place to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday.The penthouse suite was awesome.The staff was great, loved it.We'll come back again.
The hotel is very nice; however, be advised that the quad room is SMALL. It’s clean, beautiful, and comfortable, but it is small for a family of four. It’s very narrow and there isn’t much room for walking around or sitting.
We appreciated every single detail of The Manchester Hotel. We were beyond blown away!
Everything is gorgeous, the decor is insane! And the staff was very friendly and welcoming! We will be returning!
Lovely boutique hotel! Great bar area and the food was really good in the restaurant. Rooms were decorated beautifully. The bathroom and shower were also lovely.
