Our Story
A Legacy of
Southern Grace
Chez Lyndon Manor was built in 1883 for Joseph Carter Headley, a horseman and realtor. It was originally located on the northern outskirts of Lexington. Today, we are situated in the heart of historic downtown.
In 2000, I began an extensive restoration, carefully maintaining its historic character while adding contemporary comforts. As a result, Chez Lyndon Manor stands as a testament to Lexington's rich architectural heritage, while providing guests with Stylish Kentucky Hospitality.
Our downtown location positions us within walking distance to some of Lexington's finest restaurants, shops, and attractions. Our proximity to the Kentucky Horse Park, Keeneland Race Course, and the Bourbon Trail makes the Manor an ideal home base for exploring the best of the Bluegrass Region. This benefit goes two ways, because my staff and I love hearing about our guests’ travel experiences.
