As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
If you live in Cincinnati, you may not even realize that our city offers many award-winning hotels. As locals, you may only recognize the exteriors of these overnight destinations, but there are a few spots to stay that even Cincinnatians should experience. At the top of this list is The Phelps, a Residence Inn by Marriott. This elegant and welcoming boutique hotel is located inside a historic building and it’s one hotel in Cincinnati even the locals will want to visit.
The Phelps is located on the east side of downtown Cincinnati, and while it is affiliated with Marriott, this boutique hotel is situated in a historic building and maintains plenty of local character and unique appeal.
If you haven't spent much time in this area of downtown, which is also home to the Taft Museum and Lytle Park, a staycation at The Phelps is the perfect excuse to do so. The hotel sits right on the edge of the park and all of the historic sites in the area are just a few steps away.
Of course, you can experience the hotel without an overnight stay, but with such wonderful suites available, you may want to just book a night and escape. The rooms are spacious and are perfect for any visitors, whether you’re staying solo, with a significant other, and even for a family getaway.
Within the hotel, there are a few spots you simply have to visit. The Phelps Bar is on the first floor and serves up cocktails and delicious food, which you can also enjoy outside on a nice day.
The Phelps is best known for its rooftop destination, Top of the Park. This outstanding bar and restaurant is ideal for both guests of the hotel and locals looking for some of the best views in the city.
The Phelps is reminiscent of Cincinnati's past and perfectly situated in arguably the most charming area of downtown. Everyone needs to get away from everyday life time to time, so even if you're local, plan a stay at this historic hotel in the Queen City.
The Phelps is not only a lovely boutique hotel with beautiful suites and a stellar rooftop bar, but it is also situated in a scenic and historic area of Cincinnati that every local should experience.
