The Rose Lounge
Each night of Derby weekend, the rooftop of Hotel Bourré Bonne transforms into The Rose Lounge — a coveted late-night destination envisioned by Makers House™ Creative Director Josh Merideth. From 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM on Thursday, Oaks Night, and Derby Night, the hotel's rooftop indoor and open-air terrace is reimagined as a seductive, high-design lounge where Louisville's most fashionable guests gather high above the city.
Rich textures, dramatic lighting, and signature high-end design elements set the stage for an elevated nightlife experience that feels both glamorous and effortlessly chic. Guests move between the indoor and open-air rooftop bars as the evening unfolds, taking in sweeping city views while surrounded by a vibrant crowd of Derby weekend tastemakers.
The soundtrack of the night flows from live musicians into a rotation of renowned DJs, building the energy as the night progresses. Behind the bar, elevated cocktail programming and premium pours keep glasses full while the atmosphere builds into one of the most sought-after scenes of the weekend.
Equal parts luxury lounge, rooftop party, and Derby weekend social club, The Rose Lounge is where the celebration continues long after dinner reservations and galas end — a magnetic late-night gathering for those who know exactly where the night should lead.
