Symphony Hotel & Restaurant: Elegance and charm abounds
If themes of history and music and quaint, intimate settings resonate with you, you’ll want to book yourself into the Symphony Hotel.
This lodging establishment is perfectly positioned for the elegant-minded, who appreciate setting, scene and sense of place. Picture this: Cincinnati’s Music Hall looming at its door; newly configured Washington Park, a cultural magnet, steps away from that same door; and the more than century-old structure itself situated in the City’s famous Over-the-Rhine District. That, reader, is the Symphony Hotel and Restaurant.
Pictures tell more than words are capable, but know that the full-service restaurant and hotel were developed from two buildings built, with a common wall between, in the late 1800s. These “row” houses, linked now, feature nine musically themed rooms, each named after a famous composer of the classical genre. Rooms are furnished in period antiques that echo an era more than 100 years past. Each stay includes a continental breakfast on weekdays and a gourmet breakfast is available on weekends.
The restaurant in the hotel is in one of the row houses’ former “formal” parlor and an adjacent music room.
