Hotel Hyatt Regency, Cincinnati
More photosRising 22 stories above downtown, the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati is a cornerstone of the city’s skyline. Built in 1984, the hotel serves as a modern anchor in the historic central business district. It is famous for its massive, sunlit atrium and holding one of the largest hotel ballrooms in the entire state of Ohio, making it a natural gathering hub for major events.
One of the coolest architectural perks is its direct connection to Cincinnati’s Skywalk system. This heated, elevated indoor walkway lets you wander through downtown and access the nearby First Financial Convention Center without ever having to step outside or worry about the Midwestern weather.
Location-wise, the hotel puts you right in the middle of the action. You are just one block away from the historic Fountain Square, the true centerpiece of the city. If you walk just ten minutes toward the Ohio River, you can explore the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center or stroll across the iconic John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, which served as the actual prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge.
Sports and culture fans are equally spoiled here. Both Paycor Stadium (home of the Bengals) and Great American Ball Park (home of the Reds) are within easy walking distance. If you are looking for local dining or beautiful Art Deco architecture, the historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood is just a quick streetcar ride away.
Expert reviews
“One of the largest hotels in Cincinnati, this Downtown landmark has an atrium lobby with glass walls and ceiling, contemporary rooms in soft pastel colors, and first-rate service. It’s connected by a skywalk to Saks Fifth Avenue and the Tower Place shopping center.”

In town for the annual boat show
Room and bed were fine
Cincinnati 5th st
The hotel is cashless.
I think that is the begining of the end.
I dont want any one tracking what food I eat or if I have a cocktail or a beer.
Couldnt even get change at tge front desk or pay for extras with cash upon checking out.
Dumbest trend ever

Bed felt a little small

Quick with delicious breakfast on the way out with excellent service!
The bed was very comfortable. We were passing through so the location being right in downtown and minutes from the highway was perfect. The water pressure in the shower was wonderful for my thick hair and all the products provided smelled so good!
The parking situation was not the greatest. We either paid $50 for valet or drove across the street ourselves and parked for $28 I believe. I understand valet being extra but as much as the room was some kind of parking should be included.

I really like visiting Cincinnati!

Parking was a real challenge. I recommend parking yourself

Large hotel with plenty of amenities, but if you are looking for “charm” this is probably not it.
Comfortable bed. Large sleeping space. Pleasant view. Good, clean fitness center. We appreciated the 24/7 store.
Small bathroom with not enough toiletry space for 2 people. Also not enough hooks to hang towels. We had breakfast downstairs twice. It’s a strange system where you have to pay for the meal before you eat? We’ve never had that at a hotel before.

Enjoyed the baseball game, we were able to walk back to hotel after game. It was about a 15 minute walk!

Very nice. Great breakfast waitstaff.
Comfortable bed. Convenient downtown location.
The AC blew directly on the one bed setting up quite a draft. At some expense for sleep.

Overall it was a great experience
Manager, Shayne was fantastic!
The pool is an antique. No time set apart for adults swim only.

Would definitely stay here again but will request not to be placed in a corner room.
Conveniently located in the city to walk to a lot of sites and close to the circuit to catch to get to other locations that were too far to walk. The price for the rooms for the downtown area was great.
We were in a corner room and the bathroom was extremely tight.

It was very convenient for walking to the Cincinnati Reds Stadium!
Market open 24 hours, very clean, and friendly staff. Valet parking was easy to navigate!
Nothing. I would highly recommend!

Other Cincinnati hotels
Hotel Graduate, Cincinnati
Perched right on the University of Cincinnati medical campus, Graduate by Hilton Cincinnati is a playful nod to local history and college nostalgia. Opened originally in 1999 and extensively reimagined in 2020, the hotel replaces standard corporate luxury with bold, unapologetic storytelling designed by the brand's award-winning in-house creative team.
Fodors“Many visitors end up staying in a bed and breakfast near this urban campus or in a Downtown hotel, but Hotel Graduate is an excellent alternative. It’s on the UC hospital campus, a few blocks from the Cincinnati Zoo, and five minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Rooms are clean, and the beds especially plush.”
The Westin Hotel, Cincinnati
Rising high above the heart of downtown, The Westin Cincinnati has been a cornerstone of the city’s central business district since it opened in 1981. Built during an era of urban revitalization, the hotel features a striking atrium design and a sprawling layout that balances sleek, mid-century modern architectural roots with contemporary upgrades.
Fodors“The Westin overlooks the city’s most popular landmark, the Tyler Davidson Fountain on Fountain Square. The building, designed in the classic Renaissance style, was once the Albee Theater. Shoppers will appreciate that it’s just a short stroll away from Tower Place mall at Carew Tower.”
Hotel Covington Riverfront, Cincinnati
Just across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati, Hotel Covington Riverfront delivers a brilliant mix of local history and modern luxury. The building originally opened in 1910 as Coppin’s Department Store, Kentucky’s very first modern skyscraper. Legend has it that the store's founder, John Coppin, actually funded the construction using his massive winnings from a longshot bet on a horse named Knowledge—a story celebrated today at the hotel's chic Knowledge Bar.
New York Times“For a stylish hotel at more affordable rates, cross the river to the new Hotel Covington in Kentucky, a former 1910 department store refashioned by the Aparium Hotel Group to hold 114 rooms, a restaurant and coffee bar.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Residence Inn by Marriott Hotel, Cincinnati
Located in the city’s heart, the Residence Inn by Marriott Cincinnati Downtown (famously known as The Phelps) has some serious historical clout. The property is housed inside the iconic Phelps Apartment building, which was constructed back in 1926 by Charles Phelps Taft—the half-brother of US President William Howard Taft. Charles built the luxury tower to convince his wealthy business partners to stay living in the downtown core rather than fleeing to the suburbs, and the President's own family actually lived there for a time.
Lonely Planet“All of the big, glistening rooms are suites with full kitchens. Located in Cincinnati’s Business District, The Residence Inn is a 10-minute walk from US Bank Arena and the Great American Ballpark.”
