Visit history at Hotel Covington

Like many iconic stories in Kentucky, this one began with a horse race. It was John Coppin’s wager on a longshot— a horse named Knowledge— that sparked the creation of the state’s first modern skyscraper and high-end department store. With those big winnings came big ambitions, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Today, Hotel Covington stands as a tribute to high stakes, high fashion, and even higher dreams. You can feel the legacy in every detail: uniquely appointed guestrooms, stylish bars and restaurants, intimate lounges, and a serene outdoor courtyard. The hotel marries vintage charm with contemporary refinement, ringing with character, comfort, and style.

With the recent expansion of North by Hotel Covington, we’ve elevated the experience. North inhabits a historic building (the former Covington YMCA), preserving its architectural integrity while infusing the interiors with a fresh, modern twist. This new addition boasts luxurious hotel suites, a stunning event space called The Lightwell, and the chic Knowledge Bar & Social Room.

The Knowledge Bar & Social Room offers a cocktail lounge experience that’s impossible to forget. Romantic lighting, elegant furnishings, and a striking central bar set the stage for an exceptional craft cocktail experience that’s unlike any other.

Both Hotel Covington and North by Hotel Covington have been thoughtfully designed to blend community spirit with couture sophistication. Rich colors, exquisite art, and spacious floor plans ensure privacy and relaxation while offering a truly distinctive boutique experience.

Although Coppin’s restaurant no longer operates as a high-end department store, it continues the legacy of impeccable service. Our talented bartenders, expert chefs, and friendly staff are always on hand to provide a tailored experience.

Coppin’s serves breakfast and dinner daily, lunch on weekdays, and a fabulous weekend brunch complete with mimosas—an experience you and your loved ones won’t soon forget.
