Great place for a staycation. I booked this hotel for my husband's birthday. It is absolutely beautiful at Christmas time thanks to their festive decorations. The bar was also stunning. The whole place was eye candy. The service was amazing. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. The only issue we experienced was the long wait for valet to return our car. Other than that, the room and amenities were perfect. I was very impressed with our stay.

This is a late review. I actually visit the hotel awhile back, last Christmas. It's a beautiful hotel, I also love the bar area. Very photogenic. The receptionist was friendly. However they don't seem to be well informed on the event. When I check in for Breakfast with Santa, I was just told to wait for table to be ready. Didn't let me know where were Santa located until I ask later. However, they were nice to offer help taking photo of my family with Santa. As we sat down for our buffet style breakfast, our waitress wasn't as attentive as I think they should, the whole meal maybe I was check twice, and had to get attention from another waitress. I'd understand if it was busy but it wasn't. They also have cookie decorating station, various choice of cookies shape, sprinkles, icings. The employee who overlooked the area was very attentive and helpful.Overall experience was pleasant enough to recommend and come back again.

Beautiful property and incredibly well trained staff that made our stay really special for our anniversary. The kindness shown by Ryan at front desk, Kendale the bell captain and others (I'm sorry for not knowing the names) really shined through. Thank you! We will be back. It is a bit difficult to find the right street to get to the front entrance. We & Our Ubers had some minor confusion. Beautiful bathroom with a very large deep soaking tub completely relaxed and de stressed for our next adventures.

What a find. In a city such as Cincinnati with so many dining options I normally would not think to choose a hotel restaurant however it's definitely an exception. Delicious food and excellent service. The chef accommodated my vegan meal choice with an excellent dish. I've now eaten there 3 times and enjoyed a beverage at the beautiful downstairs bar and one at the rooftop bar. I highly recommend.

This hotel is stunning. The interior lobby/bar area, restaurant area, the hotel room itself - all wonderful, clean, aesthetically pleasing. Also - don't miss out on the rooftop bar with the stunning views of downtown Cincinnati! Also - a free car service around the city?! We used this multiple times. There is a maximum radius, but for us, it worked perfectly and the drivers were wonderful. P.S. - the beds were so comfy that we have strongly debated ordering all of the bedding and pillows for our own home, lol!

Cannot say enough about this place! Impressive! Quaint, boutique style with historical significance. My only regret was not getting to eat at the top bar. They had a wedding the night we were there and the next day they were closed. Bummer. Other than that this was a most enjoyable experience for us. Rooms were so clean and spacious with comfy bed. So quiet. I slept like a baby. No kids at this hotel so that really made a difference. Loved the towels and soaps provided in shower. Shower has two heads and two vanity sinks. Yay! Also plus was the Nespresso Machine! We enjoyed each morning and decaf at night. Love that! Felt like a home rather than a hotel. I guess the place used to be a Women's shelter then they renovated three years ago and it became what it is today. Newer feel for sure. They provide bottled water everyday and you can pick up additional water bottles in the gym which is very nice. No pool here but you can't have everything. We ate breakfast downstairs and it was very good. Nice staff, great views and service was top notch! They are working on restoring the park which will be so pretty when completed. TIP: they will drive you to anywhere you want to go within 5 miles of hotel. Pretty much everything you need is within that radius so park your car and use their drivers. Thank you to all the friendly drivers and staff who helped arrange pick ups and drop offs. We walked to many places including the Taft Museum across the street, beautiful and very well done. Highly recommend this hotel if you are in Cincinnati!

4.5 stars. I really wanted to rate 5 but it's not quite there. It would be 5 stars if it wasn't often the most expensive hotel in Cincinnati (still reasonably priced vs many other cities).I have stayed here twice on staycations. I have also stayed at a few other mid to higher end downtown hotels: 21c, Renaissance, Hyatt, the Phelps. This is definitely the most luxurious and competes with 21c for best overall product.On the plus side: this is an absolutely beautiful property, wonderfully restored. The lobby bar is breathtaking. The rooms are also clean and well furnished. They are large for a downtown hotel. The bathrooms are immaculate.All the staff I have encountered have been very polite and well trained. Marriott status is appropriately recognized. Everything within the hotel itself runs as I would expect for a top end property. Of note, the location is where the Central Business District starts ending. I think this is a great location if you can walk 10-20 minutes as it allows for great views and less commotion. More of a relaxed feel. They have a shuttle around downtown / Over the Rhine certain days of the week.The main thing holding me back from 5 stars is service at the restaurant and bars. To be clear, the staff is lovely but there aren't enough of them. For breakfast we waited over 30 minutes after ordering to get our food. The food was absolutely delicious when we got it, but we had hungry kids. If I was traveling for business I would be annoyed at breakfast taking an hour. The bar also seems under staffed and it takes a while for drinks, even when it's not very crowded. I think 21c has a better restaurant and bar scene (the rooms at 21c are not nearly as nice).If someone was coming downtown and wanted to stay at a nice property, I would recommend Lytle if they wanted a slower pace and beautiful room, and 21c for a more active stay.Tip: lots of construction so valet only. I recommend parking at Queen City Garage a quarter mile away. Normally $10-15 on weekends unless something is going on.

Went here for my ONE night away. My single night I get every other month to have total autonomy and silence from my kids. Usually this place has been totally worth the $400+ for a night, but this night was an absolute shit show. I noticed the music louder in the lobby than usual, whatever, I could hear it from my room but no big deal. Then 9:45 rolls around, my tv is off and I'm trying to sleep. I called the desk and they told me the music will be turned off at 10 PM and I said no worries. So suddenly at 10 the lobby music turns off and there is a monstrous bass blaring from sixth floor bar. This has never happened before, so I called down and I'm like what's going on. My room is literally vibrating and they told me that they have a party up there for a company and the music should be turned off around 10:30. I turn on the TV for another half an hour and then turn it off and the music got louder. I put in earplugs and turned on white noise but I could still hear it and my room was shaking. I called down and I told him that something had to change because I paid $400 for my room and this was totally unacceptable and they told me that the music should be off by 11. at this point I was getting annoyed and I was told I wasn't the only one complaining & they said they told everyone they'd talk to the DJ. I said I was going to leave but they told me it would be off by 11, it didn't turn off until close to 1145. I called the next day and asked to be refunded for my room and they simply told me no despite no sleep and the fact there was no warning of a rager at the hotel that night.

Absolutely the worst hotel experience we have had. It was our wedding anniversary, we were given a suite and then it was taken away and given to other guests and we were downgraded to a room on a noisy highway, dark and dingy. Room service came up cold with no cups and utensils.The customer service by the management was truly forgettable and unmemorable. There are many other hotels in the area that will give you better service. This was not on par with a four star hotel in any way!
