THE HISTORY OF THE BELLWETHER HOTEL

The building history of The Bellwether hotel in downtown Louisville KY.

THE Building

The Bellwether buildings have been reimagined after laying dormant for over two decades. The Highlands Police Station (est. 1907), BellSouth Switching Station (est. 1917), and Louisville Ballet all once called The Bellwether home, and you can still experience elements of each throughout your stay. The original police station façade and WWII-era murals have been completely restored, and you can now lounge in what was once a studio for ballet dancers.  We are excited to bring you a taste of the history of these classic buildings while experiencing a modern stay in our beautiful neighborhood.
