The Spotlight on Renaissance by Marriott Cincinnati Downtown Hotel

Modern comfort in the heart of downtown Cincinnati

A stylish and centrally located hotel, the Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown Hotel blends modern design with historic architecture, placing you steps away from downtown’s best attractions. Located just a short walk from major stadiums and performance venues, this hotel is an ideal base for music fans who want to stay close to the action while enjoying upscale comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel puts you within easy walking distance of key music and sports venues, making it a great choice if you're catching a concert at the riverfront or nearby theaters. Despite its prime location, the hotel offers a peaceful atmosphere for winding down after a high-energy night. With a 24-hour front desk, flexible late-night access, and public area Wi-Fi to post those concert pics, it's built for fans who don’t want to miss a beat.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends will love being close to the nightlife and venues.
Solo travelers can enjoy a secure, central location that’s easy to navigate.
Couples planning a music-filled getaway will appreciate the plush rooms and walkability.
Fans seeking downtime can relax in stylish rooms with comfy seating areas.
Budget-conscious music lovers will find good value in its downtown location without compromising on comfort.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no mention of on-site late-night dining, the downtown location means you're surrounded by walkable eateries and bars that cater to post-show appetites. The hotel does offer breakfast, perfect for those slower mornings after a big night. Though room service isn’t 24/7, you’ll have no trouble finding bites nearby after midnight.

Nightlife Options

You're blocks away from Cincinnati's buzzing nightlife scene. Whether you're into local breweries, upscale cocktail lounges, or dive bars with live music, you’ll find something that hits the right note. The hotel's sophisticated vibe offers a nice contrast if you’re looking to unwind afterwards.

What People Say

Guests praise the clean, modern rooms, and especially love the proximity to stadiums and concert venues. Reviewers often mention the friendly staff and the hotel’s elegant decor. Many appreciate the quiet rooms despite the downtown setting, making it easy to recover after a long night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers note that Wi-Fi is only complimentary in public areas, which can be a downside for those wanting to stream playlists in their room. Others mention that valet parking can be a bit pricey—but hey, that’s downtown convenience for you!

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a chic, centrally located stay within walking distance of Cincinnati’s top venues, the Renaissance Downtown is a solid hit.

Brian, Sunbury, visiting Taft Theatre

You're going to pay a little more $$$ for the rooms, but well worth it. We went to the Taft Theater - very short walk. I think also close to the ball field ( bud light / little fuzzy ). Room was like $250.00 for the night - but did I mention how comfortable the beds were? :) Check in and out - quick and easy also.

Liked: Beds. Beds. Beds - so very comfortable, absolutely best, most comfortable bed ever. Awesome; clean room; great bathroom and shower was awesome too; will stay there next time for any future upcoming events, for sure.
Disliked: Just hard to get to valet when we first arrived, but one of your workers outside got us right in, took our keys and showed up at our room with our valet ticket quickly, so really not a big problem.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Joseph Mon, 21 July 2025

Overall, the stay was disappointing...

Liked: The location was perfect—right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance to everything. The building itself was beautiful and had a lot of character. The front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: Parking was an unexpected issue, with a $48 valet fee or a $22/day public lot located two blocks away. Our room had no view, poor lighting, and a lack of basic amenities like hand soap and free Wi-Fi. The bathroom offered no privacy due to sliding doors, and the marble shower was dangerously slippery with no safety features.

Lauri Sun, 20 July 2025

Pleasant

Liked: Location and the attached resturants food was amazing
Disliked: It was noisy, the coffee maker plug didn't work and there was no shower gel or body wash in the containers in the shower. I also paid too much after looking further it was only 200 a night and I paid 300.

Friendly. Nice. Expensive

Liked: Super friendly staff. Lovely room and comfy beds. Great location for the banks and stadiums on the river.
Disliked: It was slightly expensive for 1 night, also the wifi was not free and was a hefty charge per day to use. After paying a lot for the night I thought this was poor.
