CINCINNATI, Ohio
A new meetings-friendly property has opened in Cincinnati, Ohio’s Bartlett Building, the Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown Hotel, offering 323 guest rooms and more than 14,000 square feet of event space.
Built in 1901 and designed by noted Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, the 18-story Bartlett Building was Cincinnati's tallest for 12 years and the tallest building in Ohio for three years. Also known as the Union Trust Building, the structure is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It had been vacant since 2010 before its restoration to the new luxury hotel.
Following a $50 million renovation, the Renaissance now features upscale amenities, contemporary styling and views of downtown. D. Burnham's, a destination restaurant named for the building's architect, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner headed by award-winning Chef Harvey Germain and serving modern American cuisine.
The Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown will also host live entertainment and events regularly as part of Renaissance Hotels' events program. It is within walking distance of downtown Cincinnati's major Fortune 500 firms such as Procter & Gamble, Fifth Third Bank, Great American Insurance and Kroger, as well as international data company dunnhumby.
It’s also close to such popular attractions such as the Contemporary Arts Center, the Cincinnati Zoo, and Fountain Square, and within three blocks of more than 65 restaurants and entertainment venues.
