Origin Hotel Lexington​

The Origin Hotel Lexington is well positioned for a Breeders’ Cup stay, offering a convenient balance between the racetrack, the city, and travel access. Located in the Summit at Fritz Farm, it sits only  9 miles from Keeneland Race Course, making it an easy transfer.

It’s also just a short transfer from downtown Lexington, close enough to reach the city’s bars, restaurants, and nightlife while still enjoying a quieter, upscale setting outside the centre.

The hotel is conveniently located near Blue Grass Airport, typically within a 15-20 minute transfer, making arrivals and departures quick and stress-free. Combined, this location offers an ideal middle ground—easy access to Keeneland, proximity to downtown attractions, and smooth airport connections.

The on-site dining at Origin Hotel Lexington adds a distinctive, local flavor to your stay, making it much more than just a place to sleep during the Breeders’ Cup. The hotel’s signature restaurant, 33 Staves, offers a modern take on Southern cuisine, with seasonal menus built around fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Guests can enjoy breakfast, dinner, and weekend brunch without ever leaving the hotel, which is especially convenient during a busy race weekend. The menu highlights Kentucky’s heritage, with many dishes incorporating bourbon-inspired flavours, alongside a curated selection of local bourbons, craft cocktails, wines, and beers.

The restaurant’s warm, relaxed atmosphere makes it ideal for both pre-race meals and unwinding in the evening, while the on-site bar is a great spot to socialize and soak up the Breeders’ Cup buzz. There’s also the option of room service or private dining spaces, giving you flexibility whether you want a lively night out or a quieter, more intimate experience.
