The Symphony Hotel welcomes you to Cincinnati, Ohio. Whether you are visiting from out of town, or want an in-town getaway and want to treat yourself to a five-course gourmet dinner any Friday or Saturday night, the ambiance can’t be beat!   The Symphony Hotel is a great place to find classical comfort, cozy surroundings, great bar scene, and wonderful, live music.

The Symphony Hotel’s main building was constructed in 1871, seven years before the completion of Cincinnati’s Music Hall. It was designed by a famous architect, James McLaughlin, who also designed the original McAlpin’s, Shillito’s, a wing of the Art Museum, Cincinnati Gas-Light & Coke Company, and the Cincinnati Public Library.

The Symphony Hotel is located just across from Cincinnati Music Hall, in OTR.   It’s the ideal location to enjoy a classical romantic getaway, eat an exquisite dinner, and experience the Opera, May Festival, the Cincinnati Symphony, or the Pops Orchestra. Come back, stay overnight and wake up to the aroma of a gourmet breakfast.

The Symphony Hotel is award winning…. and was originally an old mansion. The building was restored into a boutique hotel where the rooms are named after famous composers: Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Beech, Brahms, Mahler, and Copland.

Cactus Pear is Cincinnati’s premier Southwestern Bistro, offering the best food with the most exciting flavors, from both sides of the border, since 1992. They pride themselves on using only the freshest ingredients, and strive to prepare menu items in ways that just can’t be found anywhere else.

Cactus Pear offers standard items like tacos, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas and burritos, but also add in selections not often found at southwestern restaurants, like wraps and burgers, noodle dishes and seafood offerings. There are some unexpected sandwiches, too, like the spicy shrimp po boy, the Tex Mett and the Aztec Tofu. For a little something different, try the beef enchiladas served on blue corn tortillas, and if you are a fan of kale they’ve got a delicious kale and mushroom enchilada that will delight your taste buds. The chefs are happy to accommodate dietary restrictions or recreate a meal vegetarian or vegan, so don’t be afraid to ask.

There are plenty of small plates and salads to enjoy, as well as lighter fare, like quesadillas and soups. Plus, you can end your meal with some flan, key lime pie or a fried ice cream sundae!
