Local Heritage-Inspired Hotels

Jenny Bukovec Designs The Manchester Hotel's Interior in Kentucky

— July 24, 2023 — World
With public areas and 125 guest rooms, The Manchester Hotel is a sizable hospitality establishment in Lexington, Kentucky. The business employed Jenny Bukovec's interior design services to bring the interior to life and create a welcoming setting for guests.

For The Manchester Hotel, Jenny Bukovec draws inspiration from the region's rich heritage. Her points of reference are Kentucky's history in bourbon production and horse racing, in particular. Some of the interior design decisions are direct—the brickwork in the lobby, for instance, hits at the neighborhood's historic brick houses. Other design references are more inconspicuous like the color palette in the guest room evoking Kentucky's Bluegrass music ties.

The Manchester Hotel also includes Granddam, a restaurant that serves a contemporary take on traditional Appalachian cuisine, and a rooftop bar and lounge.
