21c Museum Hotel Lexington
Lexington, KY
The 21c Museum Hotel Lexington building dates back to 1913, when the Fayette National Bank constructed its grand headquarters. Yearning for a place to do business that could properly reflect its prestige, the bank hired architectural firm, McKim, Mead & White, to design its new home. 21c Museum Hotels acquired the building in 2012. Following a four-year renovation, the towering edifice was opened as the 21c Museum Hotel Lexington. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the building today is both a luxurious hotel and a contemporary art museum. Woven into the fabric of downtown Lexington, the hotel welcomes both visitors and the local community to enjoy its curated exhibitions and cultural programming. 21c Museum Hotel Lexington has been named to these Historic Hotels of America Top 25 Lists The 2025 Top 25 Historic Hotels of America Most Magnificent Art CollectionsThe 2024 Top 25 Historic Hotels of America Best of Adaptive Reuse List The 2021 Top 25 Historic Hotels of America Most Magnificent Art Collections
