The Symphony Hotel is located in the re-developed Over the Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, which is becoming a must-see attraction for out of town visitors. Like the neighborhood itself, the Hotel has recently undergone renovations, which include updated rooms and a new outside addition. I used to live in the area and had dinner at the Hotel before a Cincinnati Pops show. The food is excellent, you would be hard pressed to find a better meal in such a comfortable setting with great friendly service.

My girlfriend and I recently stayed overnight while visiting Cincinnati last month and I can guarantee that we will be back. It was an absolute bargain and the breakfast was excellent.

Nestled in a great neighborhood (Historic Over the Rhine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-Rhine), this beautiful building adjacent to Cincinnati Music Hall and Washington Square Park. Walkable to a lot of the great things the city has to offer.

David, our host, was nothing but gracious. The room (we got the Mozart suite) was beautiful, quiet, and cozy. The bed was amazing. Clearly, no details were overlooked.

We will be back!

To those who know Cincinnati, the prospect of staying in Over the Rhine might not be on the triptik, but OtR is changing and the neighborhood offers interesting niches, such as the Symphony Hotel. More a B&B than hotel, the Symphony is in a renovated house located right across the street from Music Hall and the newly refurbished Washington Park. My room was very comfortable and he continental breakfast hit the spot. There are lots of new, small restaurants and cafes in OtR now. David, the manager, is an accomplished chef and a very nice person who knows a lot about the neighborhood and the changes that have come. As of August 2012, they were just getting ready to open a cafe next-door, a deck off the second floor and, I assume, additional rooms - so, it's only getting better. Highly recommended.

My friend and I recently went up to Cincinnati to see the Cincinnati Opera's Porgy and Bess. In looking at hotels that were close to Music Hall as well as bars and restaurants we found Symphony Hotel as affordable as most other hotels nearby. With a great host, comfortable rooms, and a great continental breakfast to start the day, we were very happy with the trip.

We stayed in the Brahms room, which has a private bath with a jetted shower, which was part of my reasoning for booking the room.

We will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Cincinnati, and we'll be bringing friends!

Thanks for a great hotel David!
