Great boutique hotel that has been rehabbed in a strip of historic buildings in downtown Paducah - steps away from great restaurants and charming stores.

We were wrapping up a 10-day trip to East Tennessee. We stayed at The 1857 on our way home to Southwest Missouri. The 1857 offered a peaceful night's sleep in beautiful downtown Paducah.

Really nice rooms design amd staff. Reasonable rates and easy in amd out. The beds are nice but verrry creaky. A small but easy to fix detail is to het rid of fake flowers and plant pots and put some actual ones that are small compact low maintenance and dont need full sun. Location is great amd they were very clean top to bottom. The local artwork is a very nice touch in a community thats known for lots of local talent!

It was a beautiful property, Michelle was lovely to walk me the annex and makes sure I was settled. The room was beautiful, spacious, clean and quiet, absolutely need to stay again soon. The location was amazing, beautiful walking distance to water street, the river, great little coffee shop, Etcetera; bakery Kirchhof’s ; dinner at Stella’s. Fantastic first stay in Paducah.

This place is a gem! Historic building with modern amenities in the downtown district about a block from the river. Cannot beat the location or the vibe with so much within a few steps- restaurants, bars, shops and museums. If you’re in Paducah, this is the hotel you want.
