Louisville Tower Slated for Luxury Hotel Conversion

On May 13, 2026, Indianapolis developer KennMar officially commenced plans for a new luxury hotel in downtown Louisville by filing for interior demolition permits. The target property is the former Brown & Williamson Tower, located on South 4th Street, a structure ripe for adaptive reuse.

WDRB reports that this permit signifies the initial step in transforming the aging tower into a high-end hospitality destination. Further details regarding the hotel brand, projected completion, and specific amenities have not yet been disclosed.
