Introduction
Welcome to The Columbine Bed and Breakfast
in Louisville, Kentucky
Like stone sentinels, ever on the watch, the majestic columns of The
Columbine have stood stalwart for over a century. Formerly the estate of
one of the "mahogany kings" of Louisville, this bed and breakfast,
built in 1896 has preserved details that truly reflect the Victorian era
in which it was constructed.
Located in historic Old Louisville, yet 5 minutes from the Commonwealth Convention Center, the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, Churchill Downs, Louisville International Airport, Jewish Hospital, and only one and half blocks from the University of Louisville’s main campus and the J.B. Speed Museum. The Columbine is close to most major activities and sights yet remains apart in a quiet, safe residential setting.
On entering the ground floor of the Columbine, our guests may find many
splendid examples of Victorian craftsmanship at its finest. For example,
through the pocket doors of the dining room, guests will find rare
Honduran mahogany adorning the walls along with a gorgeous fireplace
with rare, rose marble imported from Carrera, Italy and a regal dining
table with intricately carved chairs. Also included on the ground floor
is the parlor, living room and a large screened-in back porch which
provide areas for relaxation.
Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 9:30 weekdays and 8:00 to 10:00 AM on weekends and holidays in the dining room.

Completely restored in 1994, The Columbine maintains its Victorian
integrity yet continues in the present day with modern amenities. Along
with central heat and air added in 1994, each guest room contains a queen bed, a loveseat, cable television/vcr, a private phone line, secretary, overhead ceiling fans and most importantly, a private bath. Out of our 6 bathrooms, 2 have claw-foot tubs.
As you can see, at The Columbine we take great pride in our home but
most of all we take pride in our warm and friendly atmosphere. We try to
make every guest feel at home and welcome. After all, we like to think
most people come back not just because of our marble fireplaces or great
beds. We try to make every person, couple and family feel truly
comfortable and special.
Come visit The Columbine. We would like to show you what hospitality
and comfort really means!
