Way to go, Lance Allison (President & CEO of the Murray-Calloway County (KY) Chamber)! You're the first fully paid ACCE Convention registrant! We can't wait to see you in Louisville!
The Louisville Convention and Visitors Bureau provided this overview of ACCE’s Convention 2012 hotels. Both appear to be winners!
The Louisville Marriott Downtown and the Hyatt Regency,areconveniently located in the heart of downtown Louisville. Both are connected directly to the Kentucky International Convention Center (where most of the convention sessions will be held) and Louisville's entertainment district, 4th Street Live!, by pedestrian skywalk, also called the “Louie Link.”
The Marriott is located on Jefferson and 3rd Street and offers two options for dining anda Starbucks in the lobby. Champion’s is a great place to grab a bite while watching your favorite sports team. You can also stop by Blu Italian Grille for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can also have your Urban Bourbon Trail passport stamped here while trying out some good Kentucky Bourbon.
The Hyatt Regency on Jefferson and 4th Street will unveil a newly renovated lobby, restaurant and bar in April. The restaurant and bar will featurelocal ingredients and support the “farm to fork” approach to dining. In the hotel's lobby, Einstein’s Bagels is open in the mornings and afternoons for coffee or a quick bite to eat. You can also go across the street from the Hyatt lobby entrance to find Qdoba, Potbelly Sandwich Shop and Smashburger.
A block away from both hotels, 4th Street Live! lies in the center of downtown Louisville. You can find several restaurants and a food court including Maker’s Mark Bourbon Lounge, The Pub and Eddie Merlot’s. For added entertainment, check out a show at the Improv Comedy Club, bowl a strike at Sport and Social or sing along to the dueling pianos at Howl at the Moon.
Whichever hotel you choose, you'll be in the center of the action for ACCE’s Convention and all that Louisville has to offer! Make your convention hotel reservation now. See you in Louisville, Aug. 1-4!
