The Seelbach Hilton is a historic luxury hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in 1905 by Bavarian brothers Otto and Louis Seelbach and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The brothers imported marbles from across the world, bronzes from France, hardwoods from the West Indies and Europe, and rare Turkish and Persian rugs to create one of the region's most storied properties. A 1907 expansion added the distinctive Rathskeller, decorated with one-of-a-kind Rookwood Pottery. The hotel's connection to F. Scott Fitzgerald — who drew inspiration from its glamorous surroundings for characters in "The Great Gatsby" — has made it a Louisville landmark. The hotel offers six distinct event spaces ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale receptions. The Medallion Ballroom, at 8,678 square feet with 20-foot ceilings and grand chandeliers, is the largest ballroom of its kind in Kentucky and accommodates up to 450 seated guests.

Today the property offers a range of indoor and outdoor rental spaces suited to weddings, corporate gatherings, family reunions, and intimate celebrations.

The museum's signature yellow Skydome, a cone-shaped structure visible from Interstate 65, has made the building itself a recognized landmark. For private events, the museum offers a range of spaces suited to groups from 50 to 1,500 guests — from the 8,297-square-foot Conference Center, which features a stage, bar, and prep kitchen, to the reimagined Skydome with its nearly 360-degree SKYWALL video display that can be customized to showcase sponsor content or event branding.
