Symphony Hotel & Restaurant

This is our Favorite hotel when we stay downtown! The atmosphere is so cozy and historical. The people there are so nice and will bend over backwards to help with what you need. If you are seeing a show at Music Hall and don't want to drive back to the suburbs late-night, this beautiful option is a no-brainer.

Symphony Hotel has a quaint bar with live music on the weekends. Usually they are a two/three person jazz type band. The ambience created by the band plus the coziness of the place makes it a pleasurable experience. The location is next to music hall in OTR. It is not obvious and must look for it. Service is friendly and attentive.

I visited the Synphony Hotel on Saturday Night for an evening of jazz with family. The jazz trio was exceptional, the band took requests, and the venue was a small boutique hotel with a unique decor, including historical memorbilia and synphony instruments. The setting,.sandwiched between the new FC Cincinnati soccer stadium and the Music Hall in OTR was scenic. Street parking is available, but a bit challenging during events. The appetizers were good. I imagine the rooms and dining in this hotel would be exceptional, although I have not tried them yet, I would recommend the hotel based on my experience.

We stayed here on a Friday night. The idea of this place is awesome. However, good luck trying to sleep at night. We were on the top floor and I could hear the band playing downstairs like it was in bed with me. Lights shined into our room and kept me up all night. The bed was small and very, very squeaky. However, the staff were great and the breakfast was top-notch. I appreciated the free parking even if it was a few blocks away.

This is not a standard hotel. For example, your standard hotel would not text you and tell you that you left your favorite blue tooth speaker and offer to mail it. They did though. Thank you so much yall! ❤️ also keep in mind, with not being your standard hotel, you don't have the same amenities. You need to communicate if you wanna be checked in right away or need anything. They do a really good job with it. Do your part. It's an old building, part of the charm. Be patient. Water will get hot, just wait. No elevator, bring your muscles if you dont know how to pack light💪 (like me 😉) . It's a perfect location with great people. We literally walked everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. Cross the bridge to Kentucky and over to the breweries, Findley market, It's almost in the center of everything. The only 1 negative I would give is the bed. if you are sensitive to pillow beds it may not be for you. The mattress definitely messed with our backs and we are happy to be home with our own mattress. However, back pain and all I would still stay here again. It was a great experience. P.s. Ice machine is behind the bar. If you're like me and don't wanna bother people late but want cold water lol.

Great little hotel! Amazingly beautiful rooms, great service, phenomenal location. Way better than a chain, strongly recommended! Be warned, however, it is an old house, and therefore noisey. Bring earplugs, and be quiet in the hallways, because we can hear every word of your hallway conversation in the rooms!
