The Space:
Designed for guests who love bold design and a space that feels different, Zonder is The Duke’s most striking bachelor suite. Inspired by The Thinker, this room is a full monochrome experience — from the deep blue walls to the matching furnishings and carefully curated details throughout.
The result is immersive and artistic: a space that feels modern, moody, and intentional. Whether you’re here to work remotely, recharge between adventures, or simply enjoy a unique aesthetic, Zonder offers a memorable stay in the heart of Louisville’s most vibrant neighborhood.
The studio is anchored by a clever Murphy bed system, allowing you to transition seamlessly from a comfortable sleeping setup to a cozy living area. A full-service kitchen makes it easy to cook, reheat, or enjoy a slow breakfast before heading out. The minimalist walk-in bath adds a clean, modern finish to the space.
Important location note (please read before booking):
Zonder is located in NuLu, a lively neighborhood known for its restaurants, bars, and nightlife. Because of the central, walkable location, you may hear street activity, music, or foot traffic in the evenings — especially on weekends. If you’re a light sleeper or looking for a very quiet stay, this may not be the best fit. If you want to be steps from Louisville’s best dining and nightlife, you’ll love this location.
Zonder isn’t designed to feel “remote” — it’s an urban, design-forward suite where the city’s energy is right outside your door.
