The seating is modular and can be adjusted to fit many configurations to suit your individual needs. A large flat screen is conveniently mounted at the back of the room for presentations and other digital media.

ABOUT STANFORD

Experience Small-Town Charm

Stanford is Kentucky’s second oldest city, founded in 1775 by Benjamin Logan as Logan’s Fort. It was also known as St. Asaph, the name given to it by Logan. The name Stanford may have been derived from “Standing Fort,” which Fort Logan became known as in the late 1770s after surviving a lengthy attack by Native Americans.

Cerulean is part of recent efforts that focus on restoration and preservation of the historic structures that make up Stanford. The beautiful high ceilings and tall doorways in our space are a result of unique decisions made in the construction of buildings from days gone by. The result is an ode to the past and a one-of-a-kind space for your events.

Part of Something Bigger

Cerulean is proud to be a part of Wilderness Road Hospitality.

What began as a mission to bring life back to Stanford’s downtown has developed into a one-of-a-kind destination for visitors to stay, eat, shop, relax, and meet in a beautiful small-town setting.

Relax on the front porch of one of our historic guest houses and watch the leaves gently spiral to the ground below.
