THE WALLS
REMEMBER
More than an inn

A place shaped by generations.

The Main Inn was built in 1845 and began life as part of a women’s college. Beaumont later became an inn, and across generations the same spirit of Kentucky hospitality has been carefully carried forward.

That history is not tucked behind glass. You feel it in the architecture, the rooms, the table, the lawns and the pace of the place.

Select Fridays

Sometimes the best part of a stay is what’s being served downstairs.

If your visit lands on one of Beaumont’s Friday lunch buffet dates, make room for a tradition built around the dishes guests come back for: fried chicken, corn pudding, country-style sides, warm rolls and dessert.

A Friday tradition worth planning around.

The Friday lunch buffet is offered on select Fridays and reservations are required. Check current dates when planning your stay.
