The Perfect Place to Stay – Luxury Accommodations in Burlington

It’s rare to see a fully functioning riverboat today: just as it’s becoming rarer to find accommodation where luxury truly is the focus of the experience. Hotels in Burlington KY are made for convenience, and they get a lot of things right. But nothing compares to real luxury accommodations in Burlington.

Willis Graves Bed & Breakfast is run by our lovely innkeeper, Jennifer, who prioritizes the customer experience over everything else.

• Stay at our luxury accommodations in Burlington and enjoy Jennifer’s famous Gourmet Kitchen with a menu designed around rich and hearty ingredients sourced locally.
• We are proud of the service we deliver and the feedback we receive from our guests. Willis Graves luxury accommodations in Burlington have been awarded the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for three years running.
• A dinner cruise on a riverboat can remind you of an era past where service, luxury, and memorable experiences mattered above all else. You’ll experience the same commitment to hospitality at our luxury accommodations in Burlington. We focus on your needs first. Enjoy a pampering and become the center of attention at Willis Graves Bed & Breakfast.
• We’re conveniently located just minutes from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. You’ll be moments from a major metropolitan center at our B&B, yet you’ll feel miles away while nestled in the picturesque rolling hills of Northern Kentucky.

Skip the Hotels in Burlington KY and Make Your Next Trip Unforgettable

If you’re looking for hotels in Burlington KY, you’ll find that there are plenty of choices. Hotels dot the interstate and of course, there are more in Cincinnati and Newport. But do you really want to choose from the stopover hotels in Burlington KY for a special weekend away?

Hotels in Burlington KY provide safe and comfortable lodging, but they fall short of true luxury and pampering. Luxury accommodations in Burlington are more intimate, more luxurious, more inspiring, and more relaxing.

Our staff is committed to making your trip memorable. We can even help you to plan your day adventures whether you’re looking for a B and B riverboat dinner cruise, a walking adventure, or even guided tours through the historical districts of Cincinnati. Having locals who can recommend food spots, entertainment, nightlife, shopping, and more, is something that you won’t find at hotels in Burlington NY. We don’t just hand out pamphlets from the area. We are your private concierge and will ensure that your trip is not only memorable but fully tailored to your interests.

Stay at a private bed & breakfast and experience the authentic hospitality that bigger hotels in Burlington KY are missing.
