The growth in downtown hotel capacity includes 250 rooms in am Embassy Suites Hotel. Other planned projects include a 300-room Westin Hotel.
The new lodging facilities will join three other downtown hotels with more than 800 rooms that have been added since 2005, according to online information from the Greater Louisville Hotel & Lodging Association.
