The company's holdings include: The Galt House Hotel, the Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport, Waterfront Plaza, One Riverfront Plaza, Embassy Suites Louisville, and Home Supply Company. Since 1947, the family-owned Al J. Schneider Company has been the bedrock of Louisville, Kentucky’s hospitality industry. Founded originally as a small startup by visionary and general contractor Mr. Al J. Schneider, over the course of 50 years, Mr. Schneider went on to build schools, banking institutions, medical facilities and own four of the largest hotels in Louisville. As a developer, he was responsible for bringing Louisville’s economic and tourism focus back to its Main Street roots adjacent to the Ohio River. While Mr. Schneider passed away in 2001, his legacy lives on through his family, team members, and the vision he saw for Louisville.
