#6 of 9 hotels in Downtown & The Banks by Axel's take. Downtown & The Banks is #1 of 5 places to stay in Cincinnati. The best hotels in Downtown & The Banks, ranked · Where to stay in Cincinnati

Axel's take: 7.9/10

Go for the art and downtown location, not flawless luxury. an upscale downtown boutique hotel with a contemporary art museum, scored for what it is.

21c is an upscale boutique hotel in Cincinnati’s historic Metropole building, with a contemporary art museum that gives it more character than a conventional downtown stay. It’s a strong pick for an arts-focused weekend: the Aronoff Center is across the street, Metropole supplies on-site dining, and Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff, comfortable beds and walkable location.

The rooms don’t consistently match the public spaces. Recent Expedia and Accor reviews mention dated finishes, musty smells and maintenance lapses alongside plenty of clean-room reports. Guests also reported the Cocktail Terrace rooftop bar closed for renovation in summer 2026; confirm access rather than booking around it. We’d choose it for personality and convenience, but skip it if freshly updated rooms and reliably polished luxury service are essential.

  • Best for: art-minded couples; Aronoff Center theatergoers; walkable downtown weekends

  • Watch out for: dated rooms and uneven maintenance; rooftop bar access needs confirmation; paid valet parking

  • Location: Across from the Aronoff Center, beside the Contemporary Arts Center and convenient for downtown dining.

  • Rooms: Comfortable beds earn praise, but recent guests report aging finishes and occasional plumbing or lighting problems.

  • Cleanliness: Mostly positive reports, with recurring musty-smell complaints and some bathroom-cleaning lapses.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful staff are a consistent strength, though problem resolution is less dependable.

  • Amenities: Contemporary art galleries, Metropole restaurant, spa and 24-hour gym; confirm rooftop bar availability.

  • Fees and surprises: Valet parking and pets cost extra; owners announced renovation and possible rebranding plans, but timing remains unconfirmed.
