There are many great things about Cincinnati USA as a destination and host city to entice meeting planners and attendees, but consistently we hear the top deciding factors are our compact convention footprint, easy accessibility, VIP service and exciting entertainment options.
Cincinnati USA has always been a city with a rich heritage of cultural arts, sports and hospitality, but those who haven’t checked us out in while may not know yet that Cincinnati USA has undergone a stunning renaissance of entertainment, hotel growth and dining. And, because we wanted to harness that explosive energy to create a better environment for meetings and conventions, we made certain the epicenter for the rebirth was right downtown, within steps of the Duke Energy Convention Center. Here are some examples:
– Five new downtown hotels and multi-million-dollar renovations — more than 3,000 rooms
– Five downtown entertainment districts
– A brand new casino
– Cincinnati Red and Bengals
– More than 200 boutiques and department stores
– New restaurants catering to every cuisine and price point
– Art, opera, theatre and music
The beautiful downtown area, nestled in the bend of the mighty Ohio River is a stunning sight to behold. But that’s just the beginning. From the moment the cityscape reveals itself on the easy approach from the airport, you know you’re in for something special. Cincinnati USA packs countless sights, sounds, tastes and adventures into a space roughly comparable to the footprint of a big box hotel.
“On a stroll about town, Cincinnati shows more tricks up its sleeve. Downtown proves dense, walkable and handsome – filled with skyscrapers of many eras. We rock on metal swings as big as park benches, facing the river…I’m sitting on Ohio’s front porch.” – National Geographic Traveler Magazine
Visitors can walk through historic neighborhoods that border cosmopolitan chic dining districts. They can sample scores of cuisines, from gourmet mac and cheese to upscale dining in authentic art deco settings, including some of the top restaurants in the country. The museum scene ranges from contemporary art to historic museums with old world masters. Shopping includes eclectic boutiques in centuries-old buildings, as well as upscale department stores offering the latest styles. Best of all, this enormous range of sights, sounds, tastes and experiences is available in a single stroll around downtown.
