Seelbach Hotel Launches Great Gatsby Suite in Louisville

The Seelbach Hilton in Louisville has unveiled a new suite inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby,' designed to reflect the opulence and glamour of the 1920s as part of the novel's 100th anniversary celebrations. The suite features a Daisy-inspired bedroom adorned with vintage decor, including gold peacock lamps and a Victorian settee, alongside a Gatsby Lounge that embodies the spirit of new money with plush velvet furnishings and a crystal chandelier. Designed by local artist Terra B. Nelson, the suite includes Easter eggs from the book, such as a vintage green light symbolizing Gatsby's longing for Daisy. Fitzgerald is said to have frequented the hotel during his service at Camp Taylor, and the Grand Ballroom even served as the fictional backdrop for Tom and Daisy's wedding. Bookings for the suite will open on February 1, 2025, allowing guests to experience the Jazz Age ambiance firsthand. The Seelbach aims to attract both fans of Fitzgerald and those looking for a unique historical experience in Louisville.
