Cincinnati Marriott At Rivercenter

Stylish Riverfront Stay Minutes from Cincinnati's Best Venues

Modern and upscale, the Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter sits right across the river from downtown Cincinnati’s most iconic entertainment spots. Located in Covington, KY, this hotel blends sleek comfort with scenic views of the city skyline and Ohio River. With an indoor pool, on-site dining, and walkable access to concerts and nightlife, it's a perfect base for music lovers visiting the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short stroll across the bridge gets you to major venues like Great American Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium. This means no late-night traffic battles after the show. For those catching gigs at The Banks or other downtown hotspots, it’s easy to get back with rideshare or even on foot. After the music ends, the hotel’s peaceful riverside setting offers a quieter vibe to wind down. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, giving you a comfortable window to recover the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends headed to a big concert weekend
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist
• Couples looking for a romantic music-filled getaway
• Fans craving a quieter post-show retreat
• Budget-conscious travelers who still want upscale comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant, Mash & Oak, serves up American dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—with river views to match. Need a caffeine fix before heading out? The in-house café brews up Starbucks favorites and light bites. Late-night cravings? While there’s no 24/7 room service, the atrium bar stays open for evening cocktails and snacks, and there are plenty of walkable dining options just across the river.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a relaxing bar scene with craft cocktails, you’re just minutes from the buzzing nightlife at The Banks and downtown Cincinnati. From cocktail lounges to sports bars and live music venues, there’s no shortage of places to keep the night going after the encore.
