Located just outside Lexington, this distinctive venue offers a rare balance of professionalism and luxury, creating an environment where teams can gather with intention while enjoying a true sense of escape.

A corporate retreat here feels less like stepping into another meeting room and more like arriving at a destination designed for clarity, collaboration, and creativity.

A Destination Designed for Productive Gatherings

A successful retreat is about more than an agenda. The Kentucky Castle brings together European-inspired architecture, expansive countryside views, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that encourages meaningful conversation. Whether hosting a focused leadership meeting or a multi-day corporate retreat, guests quickly notice how the setting helps shift perspective and spark new ideas.



The property offers the space teams need to work effectively, paired with the breathing room that makes collaboration feel natural rather than forced.

Flexible Event Spaces for Meetings and Corporate Events

The Kentucky Castle offers a variety of indoor and outdoor event spaces that can be tailored to your group size, goals, and season. Each space has its own character, allowing planners to create an experience that feels intentional rather than one-size-fits-all.

The Grand Ballroom provides a refined backdrop for formal meetings, corporate dinners, large presentations, and end-of-year celebrations. Its timeless design makes it well suited for structured gatherings that require a polished setting.

For a lighter, more relaxed atmosphere, the Greenhouse offers a more causal space filled with natural light. This area is ideal for breakout sessions, working lunches, or receptions that encourage conversation and connection.

Private Rooftop access is also available for events seeking a memorable outdoor experience. With sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, it offers a refreshing change of pace from traditional meeting venues.

Outdoor Spaces That Encourage Connection

Stepping outside can often be the most productive part of a meeting. The Kentucky Castle’s outdoor spaces are designed to support both work and downtime.

The Rooftop offers panoramic views of rolling hills and open skies, creating an ideal setting for networking, casual conversations, or evening gatherings. It is especially popular for sunset receptions or relaxed team moments at the end of the day.

For an outdoor setting with added coverage, the East Terrace provides a tented environment suitable for luncheons or evening events. This space allows teams to enjoy the outdoors while maintaining a comfortable and polished atmosphere.

Each space is adaptable, making it easy to align the setting with your event’s tone and objectives.

On-Property Dining for Business Lunches and Corporate Dinners

Dining is an important part of any successful retreat. The Kentucky Castle’s culinary team offers tailored catering options for business lunches, corporate dinners, and formal gatherings, ensuring every meal aligns with the tone and flow of your event.

Menus are crafted with the same attention to detail and seasonally inspired ingredients that define The Kentucky Castle’s dining philosophy. Whether your group is enjoying a plated meal in the Ballroom or a relaxed luncheon on the Terrace, each dish is prepared with care and exceptional flavor.

For smaller teams or post-event guests, The Kentucky Castle Farm Restaurant provides an additional opportunity to dine on-site, offering an unique experience for groups of twelve or less.

Overnight Accommodations for Multi-Day Retreats

For companies hosting multi-day retreats, overnight accommodations are available directly on the property. This allows teams to stay focused on their goals without the need to arrange additional travel or off-site lodging.

The Kentucky Castle’s boutique hotel rooms combine classic comfort with refined design, offering a peaceful place to unwind after a full day of meetings and collaboration. Staying on-site simplifies logistics while enhancing the overall retreat experience.

While not all event packages include full property access, many groups choose to enhance their stay with customized experiences such as private dinners, guided tastings, or small-group wellness sessions. These additions help create a retreat that feels personal and memorable.

Team Building and Local Experiences for Multi-Day Retreats

For teams staying multiple days, the Bluegrass region offers easy ways to extend the retreat experience beyond the meeting room. Just minutes from The Kentucky Castle, groups can enjoy hands-on, locally rooted activities that encourage connection and shared experiences.

Popular options include guided bicycle tours along historic railroad tracks with Rail Explorers, behind-the-scenes horse farm visits through organizations like Visit Horse Country, or curated distillery tours along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
