Seelbach Hotel

The Seelbach Hotel, now known as the Seelbach Hilton, was founded by Bavarian-born brothers Louis and Otto Seelbach. It is located in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, United States, and was featured in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby". The hotel's sale in 1966 from the Eppley chain to the Sheraton Corporation was part of the second largest hotel sale in United States history.
