Romantic hotels around here?

DH and I are getting our FIRST night away from our kids ever, to celebrate our 6th anniversary next month (MIL is coming into town to babysit).

Can anyone recommend a nice romantic hotel in the Cincy area? Preferably with a good restaurant either in the hotel, or within walking distance.

  • It's not in Cincy, but Quinton and I stayed at Belterra for his birthday in February and it was awesome, plus they have the Jeff Ruby restaurant there!  Even if you don't want to gamble, the rooms are the best, get one with a spa tub!

  • That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of that, but it might seem even more special if we got a bit out of town.  

  • is that place in florence any good that has the themed rooms? i think its called the wildwood and it has a tropical dome or something. it sounds neat but never been so i have no idea about the quality. i'd be interested to find out though.

  • FYI... Wildwood was on the news for being infested with bed bugs.
  • We stayed in the Cincinnatian for our wedding night - which has The Palace restaurant in it, as well as all the other options Downtown.

    The rest of the week we stayed at the West Baden Resort & Spa in Indiana - it's the sister hotel to French Lick (so you can go to the casino if you want over at French Lick but leave the ick over there when you're done). One nice restaurant at Frenck Lick, one nice restaurant at West Baden. Golf courses accessible to both. You could get a massage for two (I recommend).  West Baden also has a little shopping, a bar, and an ice cream parlor/coffee parlor INSIDE the hotel as well as some gorgeous grounds to go take a walk with a glass of wine.

  • I saw one of those half off radio gift certificates for Belterra but it was for S-Th nights only.  There's no way we can go with DH's schedule, oh well! Let me know if you want the link and I'll find it.  The Clifton House B&B in clifton is nice, plus it's just a few blocks off of Ludlow.

    Ditto this, I hear it's pretty gross.

    I like the idea of Belterra (J. Ruby's there is soooo good!) or you could go to the new Hollywood Casino.

    The Hilton downtown is nice, so is the brunch on Sundays.

    Have fun :) 

  • Cincinnatian Hotel- I love it and their restaurant is world class. Right before we got married (we stayed there for our wedding night) my parents and DH had the chef's table in the kitchen and it was the best experience EVER!
  • The Mariemont Inn is beautiful!  It is a historic hotel, but newly rennovated yet still has that nostalgic charm.  The showers are amazing and every room has a fireplace.  Then, you can enjoy breakfast at the National Exemplar restaurant which is right downstairs!

  • The Cincinnatian has a weekend package that gives you a one-night stay and a gift certificate for dinner in the Palace Restaurant. DH & I spent the night there for his birthday after we got married, we had an awesome dinner and while we were at dinner I had the concierge bring up some chocolate covered strawberries and a half bottle of champagne--the staff even made him a birthday card :-)

    It was really awesome, we danced to the music from the bar on our balcony. 

     

  • IF you are up for a short tip. We stayed at the Villa Inn B& B in Indy and really liked it. We also just went to the Louisville and had a blast. We stayed at the 21C, which isn't romantic per say, but is an awesome hotel.
  • We stayed at Six Acres B&B (north of Cincy) once, and it was wonderful!  They cook a big delicious breakfast for you in the morning.  There's no restuarant around though.  We were took our own food and used their amazing kitchen to cook together.  It has beautiful grounds and an outdoor hot tub as well.  It's a great place if you just want to get away and relax the two of you...but if you're looking for entertainment it might not be the right pick.  We loved it though. 

    Have fun!!
