ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Within the historic walls of Boone Tavern Hotel, the reimagined restaurant and bar welcomes guests into a space where legacy and modern hospitality meet with intention. ​

Original herringbone wood floors anchor the restaurant in its storied past, while bespoke furnishings, handmade by Berea College Student Craft, bring fresh energy and a deeply personal touch. Every detail is designed to invite connection from the welcoming public lounge to the new full-service bar that hums with life from afternoon to evening. A private dining room offers a more intimate stage for celebrations, allowing groups to gather in comfort and style. ​

​

The transformation blends visual appeal with a celebration of place, featuring menus of farm-to-table dishes from Berea College Farm and interiors that reflect the college’s legacy of craftsmanship. Together, these elements create a dining experience that elevates local culture, enriches community ties, and leaves every guest with a lasting sense of belonging.​

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

This hotel concept is envisioned as a catalyst for urban renewal, reconnecting with the character of the surrounding district and filling a long-standing gap in the city’s fabric. The project builds on the area’s tradition of mid-rise structures while introducing a new landmark destination that combines hospitality, culture, and community.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Local Chef John Varanese had already turned an old, prefabricated metal boat storage into the popular, high-end River House Restaurant and Levee at the River House. When he was ready to expand, he contracted with Luckett & Farley to help him renovate the upstairs space into an elegant event venue.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Within the industrial character of Greyline Station, Bespoken Spirits’ Lexington location becomes an immersive destination that embodies their pioneering approach to whiskey making. The design blends innovation and tradition, creating a refined yet approachable setting for tasting, learning, and connection. Clean lines, lab-inspired surfaces, and rich textures capture the brand’s spirit of experimentation, while warm lighting and material selections create an inviting atmosphere.​

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

At the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Louisville, Luckett & Farley designed a lobby and rooftop destination that blends modern sophistication with the warmth of Southern hospitality. Classic wooden tones, textured stone, and bold red accents create a rich backdrop that reflects the city’s character while offering guests a welcoming and elevated atmosphere.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

The University of Louisville Athletic Association sought to update the former Brown & Williamson Club, originally designed by Luckett & Farley in 1997 as a part of the original Cardinal Stadium. 

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Inspired by the life and legend of Clyde May—Alabama’s original outlaw distiller turned namesake of the official state spirit—Luckett & Farley was entrusted to design a destination that honors his rebellious ingenuity while positioning the brand for long-term growth. Drawing on deep expertise in the distilled spirits sector and a legacy of designing iconic visitor experiences, our team provided comprehensive design services from master planning through construction administration, helping bring to life Alabama’s first and only legal distillery.​

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

We are proud to partner with Saga Spirits Group to redefine the distillery experience with a groundbreaking development that blends tradition with innovation. This world-class whiskey campus embodies the company’s history, values and brand strategy, while reflecting evolving consumer expectations for a bourbon experience.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

As Rabbit Hole’s presence evolved beyond its original urban campus, the brand looked to create a destination that embraced Kentucky’s rural character while offering a space for meaningful, immersive experiences. Luckett & Farley envisioned a new tasting room and event venue that would reflect this next chapter—an environment designed to bring people together through landscape, craft, and hospitality.
