For those who found the Turf Club and Millionaires row a bit on the lackluster side, 2011 brought with it the advent of “The Mansion”. Bringing luxury to a new level, this 6th floor ultra-exclusive area only has 322 seats; only 296 are sold in case a foreign monarch wants a last minute ticket.

After being dropped off by personal chauffeur, guests will be escorted by personal concierge to a private elevator that brings them to the 6th floor. This is when the real luxury begins. A personal chauffeur will be appointed to you for the duration of the event so that you may come and go as you please.

Mansion attendees also gain access to personal sommeliers that offer their full attention in creating perfection in the harmony between alcohol and food. For alcohol and food, The Mansion impresses with its rare and interesting wine list, Iron Chef winning Edward Lee in the kitchen, and the best local ingredients around.

Mansion executives boast that your personal concierge will be able to accommodate nearly any request. For private jet travelers looking for a VIP experience, The Mansion at Churchill Downs will not disappoint.

This year, all-new private suites and rooms are available, as well as the Winner’s Circle Suites offering luxury guests close proximity to the track.
