One of the most attractive and restful bed and breakfast locations in the nation is situated in Louisville, Kentucky at the DuPont Mansion. Located near Old Louisville - a National Historic Reservation District and adjacent to Central Park, the DuPont Mansion is only a few blocks from Louisville's commercial district. A Victorian Era mansion built in the Italiante style, the DuPont Mansion was erected by Alfred and Biederman DuPont in 1879 and sold to businessman Thomas Prather Jacob in 1886. The DuPont Mansion was remodeled into separate apartments around 1900, and was purchased by Herbert and Gayle Warren in 2000 and reopened as a bed and breakfast in 2001.

Today, the DuPont Mansion serves as an amazing adventure into the past elegance of a bygone era, and welcomes visitors to enjoy a first-class bed and breakfast experience at a reasonable price. There are eight wonderfully designed rooms at the DuPont Mansion, ranging in price from $149 to $239 per night. Each individual room at the DuPont Mansion features  cable tv/vcr, a telephone and a fireplace. The DuPont Mansion offers an incredible view of fine craftsmanship, with hardwood floors and outstanding carpentry features. In addition, guests at the Dupont Mansion can enjoy the comforts of turndown services, wake up services and a personal concierge service.

The DuPont Mansion does not allow smoking indoors, and there is a no-pet policy in effect for the bed and breakfast. Check-in time is from 3 PM to 6 PM, and check-out time is at noon. Guests at the DuPont Mansion can expect a free breakfast every morning, and an afternoon refreshment as part of their room price.

The DuPont Mansion offers a variety of customer discounts such as a 10% discount for senior citizens and military personnel staying between Sunday and Thursday, and other discounts are available for extended stays.

For a tourist or visitor to Louisville a stay at the DuPont Mansion cannot be beat, as an affordable bed and breakfast with outstanding amenities in a centralized location. Families on vacation can find themselves within ten minutes of attractions like Churchill Downs and the Louisville Slugger Museum. Similarly, business travelers will enjoy the close proximity of the DuPont Mansion to the Louisville International Airport and the Kentucky International Convention Center.

Perhaps the greatest reason to schedule a future stay a the DuPont Mansion is because of the friendly service provided by a most competent staff. The DuPont Mansion presents southern hospitality at it's best while in the midst of a tremendous travel experience.
