A good spot in the middle of everything.
Pros:

Nice room and a nice bar. Staff helped us fulfill our special booking request after Booking did not forward it to the hotel. The location is excellent for everything from downtown fun to sports venues.

Cons:

Be warned: Booking.com does not forward any special requests to the hotel. We found out the hard way! Call them yourself if you have a special room request.

Excellent Collaboration & Outstanding Service
Pros:

As someone who regularly books stays for our executive team and guests, I can highly recommend the Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown. The feedback is consistently positive: our guests always feel exceptionally well cared for, safe, and comfortable at the hotel.

I would especially like to highlight the outstanding collaboration with Rejfo, Sara, and the entire team. They respond quickly, are incredibly reliable, and handle every request with genuine professionalism and warmth. Whether it’s last-minute bookings, special requests, or coordination around logistics—everything is managed smoothly and at a very high standard.

Thank you for the excellent cooperation! We look forward to many more stays for our guests at the Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown.

Awesome stay in beautiful suite
Pros:

Our stay at the Renaissance was great. We were actually booked at another hotel and it was awful- we didn't even check in. We were welcomed at the Renaissance immediately by Leslie and Raine. They were able to upgrade our accommodations and were so kind and friendly. The room was clean and very spacious. We ate lunch in the restaurant and it was delicious- room service was just as good. If we return to Cincinnati, this is where we will be staying for sure.

Wonderful Experience
Pros:

My stay at the renaissance hotel during the snow storm was nothing but exceptional, the room was very clean as expected. The services that were provided were on point and very professional. Everyone working there, they make sure to go out of their way to make you feel welcomed the moment you enter the hotel.
Despite being stuck in the hotel during the snow storm, I still managed enjoy my time there thanks to the staffs and also to the spectacular hospitality shown by the managers, Mr. Refo and Mr. Elyor. They were very polite, calm and collective, and made sure I was given the best service possible.
And the food there was what really made the difference. The restaurant on the first floor 4th and Walnut Rest. provides a very vast variety of menu, with many diverse options and most importantly it was served fresh, warm and tasted delicious!.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay there for a shorter or longer period of time.
