One of the first questions couples ask after booking their venue is: where should our guests stay? If you're planning a wedding at 314 Exchange, you're in a great spot — Pewee Valley sits just 20 minutes from downtown Louisville, which means your guests have plenty of comfortable, convenient options nearby.

Here's a breakdown of the best places to stay, from closest to the venue to most budget-friendly.

Stay On-Site: The Loft at 314 Exchange

The best option for the couple themselves — or close family who want to be right in the heart of everything — is our on-site loft. Designed as a private, comfortable retreat, the loft gives you a quiet place to wind down after your wedding night without going anywhere. It's the same space where you got ready that morning, and by the end of the night, it feels like home.

If you're considering the loft, reach out when you book and we'll walk you through availability.

Closest Hotels to the Venue

For guests who want to be as close as possible, these three options are within a short drive of 314 Exchange and consistently well-reviewed:



Holiday Inn Express Louisville Northeast is one of the closest full-service hotels to Pewee Valley. Guests appreciate the complimentary breakfast, clean rooms, and easy highway access — all of which make it a practical choice for wedding weekend stays.

Hampton Inn Louisville Northeast is another popular option for wedding guests, known for comfortable rooms and a reliable experience. It's a familiar name that makes it easy to recommend to out-of-town family who want a no-surprises stay.

Aloft Louisville East offers a more modern, boutique feel for guests who want something a little different. It tends to appeal to younger guests and couples in the wedding party looking for a livelier atmosphere.

For Guests Staying Multiple Nights

If family or friends are making a full weekend of it, extended stay options in the Louisville East corridor give them more space and the ability to cook their own meals. Homewood Suites Louisville East and Staybridge Suites Louisville East both offer suite-style accommodations with kitchenettes — ideal for families traveling with kids or guests who prefer a home-away-from-home setup.

A Note on Room Blocks

If you're expecting a significant number of out-of-town guests, it's worth asking your hotel of choice about setting up a room block. Most hotels will hold a set of rooms at a group rate when you give them your wedding date in advance. This takes the guesswork out of it for your guests and ensures everyone has a place to land.

If you want to stay at an Airbnb in Louisville

For guests who want a full home experience about 20 minutes from the venue, The Jungalow and LumosStays in Louisville are both a fantastic option. Each home sleeps up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms and 4 beds — making it a great fit for a bridal party, a group of siblings, or family members who want to stay together rather than book separate hotel rooms.

With a high ratings and an intentional host, it's one of the most loved homes on Airbnb in the Louisville area. The space has a warm, eclectic feel with a fire pit, string lights in the backyard, memory foam beds, and a 65" 4K TV — the kind of place that makes the whole weekend feel like more than just an event. It's kid-friendly too, which is always a bonus for families traveling with little ones.

The Bigger Picture

Being just 20 minutes from downtown Louisville means your guests also have access to everything the city has to offer — great restaurants, the Bourbon Trail, Churchill Downs, and more. Many couples turn their wedding weekend into a full Louisville experience for their guests, and Pewee Valley is the perfect quiet base to come home to after a day in the city.
