Churchill to Renovate Jockey Club Suites Before 2024 Derby

Churchill Downs, Inc. (CDI) will “update and refresh” the Jockey Club Suites at the Louisville oval in a $14-million renovation, the company announced late Wednesday. The modernization project will be finished prior to the 2024 Kentucky Derby.

“The Jockey Club Suites are a core premium hospitality product,” said Churchill President Mike Anderson. “This renovation project will ensure existing and future suite holders are provided the entertainment experience Churchill Downs is known for and our guests have come to expect for Kentucky Derby Week and all other racing events.”

All 61 suites, common spaces, dining rooms, and restrooms located on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors as part of the area are included in the renovation. Originally constructed in 2004, the Jockey Club Suites seat approximately 2,500 guests and also serve as a premium rentable space for special events throughout the year.
