It's the time of year when the Louisville area hosts many visitors.
With that we spend a bit of time talking about hotels and Airbnbs this week on the Access Louisville podcast.
Reporter Eleanor Tolbert is on the show and tells us about a new $29 million hotel project that's going into a more than 100-year-old building in New Albany. That one is in development, while Louisville just added a new hotel — called Hotel Genevieve, of which we have photos.
Tolbert also tells us about the surging price of Airbnbs with the upcoming Kentucky Derby weekend and passes on a few tips for those interested in renting out their homes for Derby weekend.
Reporter Michael L. Jones also gives us the latest news from the restaurant beat including the upcoming closure of Angilo's Pizza in the South Louisville and the expansion of Parlour in Jeffersontown.
Late in the show we get into Kentucky Derby predictions, including talk over whether last year's win by Rich Strike will have more bettors going for the long shot this time.
