Conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Cincinnati.
We are less than a block from Fountain Square, and walking distance to the homes of The Cincinnati Reds & the Bengals, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the Taft Art Museum, the Contemporary Arts Center, 21C Museum Hotel, the Aronoff Center for the Arts, and Taft Theatre. PLUS great parks and restaurants all nearby.


We know Cincinnati. We've been a part of downtown Cincinnati for nearly 200 years. And guarantee there's something to do just about every day and night. Check out our Community Partners page for more.
