Best Wedding Hotels in Ohio

Appropriately perched adjacent to the Contemporary Arts Center – across the street from the Aronoff Center for the Arts in downtown Cincy – the 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati is for the traveler looking for a little more than just a place to hang their hat. Recent guests heaped praise on the unique outpost of the 21c Museum collection, saying they felt little need to step foot outside the hotel. Perhaps that's because you don't need to leave to get your fill of culture: The museum within the hotel features a rotating roster of 21st-century artists. And the creativity doesn't stop at the gallery display; rooms are stylishly decorated with amenities including MALIN + GOETZ toiletries and Nespresso coffee makers. If interpreting modern art isn't your idea of a good time, you can enjoy some pampering at the Spa at 21c. The hotel also boasts an on-site fitness center, though recent guests warn that it is a bit small. And when your stomach starts to rumble, the on-site restaurant, Metropole, receives rave reviews from past visitors thanks to its fresh menu and knowledgeable waitstaff.

Located in the historic Cleveland Trust building, the Metropolitan at The 9 hotel is less than a mile from attractions like the House of Blues, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and all three sports stadiums (Quicken Loans Arena, Progressive Field and FirstEnergy Stadium). In addition to a prime location, the hotel boasts unique spaces, including an indoor dog park (the only hotel in the city to offer one), a yoga studio and a rooftop sun lounge. The property also features the high-tech Alex Theater and the Vaults – a bar and event space in the bank's former rotunda and vaults. Guests can eat meals at the on-site restaurant, Adega, or grab snacks from the Heinen's Market before sipping a nightcap at either one of two bars. Recent guests were equally impressed with the distinctive, spacious guest rooms that all feature large seating areas with sofa beds, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, honor bars and complimentary internet access. Those looking to splurge should consider booking a RSRV level room located on the top floor of the hotel. These rooms boast lounge access, personal butlers, complimentary breakfast, hors d'oeuvres, cocktails and midday and late night snacks. Recent guests said the staff was accommodating and friendly, with great attention to detail. And since this hotel is a member of Marriott's Autograph Collection, members of the Marriott Bonvoy program can earn and use points here. 

Recent visitors consistently described the Hilton Columbus Downtown as refreshingly modern with a courteous staff and an enviable location in Ohio's capital: This Hilton is situated right across the street from the Greater Columbus Convention Center, near the Arena District and less than a mile south of the North Market. Rooms feature 42-inch LCD TVs, spacious work desks and alarm clocks with MP3 connectivity. When you're not lounging in your accommodations, you can head to the indoor pool (a favorite of recent guests) or work up a sweat in the fitness center. Past visitors said they were pleasantly surprised by the modern amenities found in the gym. However, guests were less impressed with the extra fees for parking and in-room internet access. Some also noted the walls here were a bit thin, meaning you could hear anything and everything in the hallways. The Gallerie Bistro, on the other hand, receives praise for its improved menu and variety of offerings. Looking for a way to save some coin? Cash in your Hilton Honors points here for complimentary nights or rack them up for future stays.

This four-star property, located on North Third Street, earns a high guest approval rating thanks to its enviable location in Uptown Columbus and its hospitable hotel staff. The Renaissance also wins over visitors with its clean, comfortable accommodations, furnished with plush bed linens, sumptuous duvets, iPod docking stations and Wi-Fi access (for a fee). Another perk of bedding down here: The ability to accrue or redeem points if you participate in the Marriott Rewards program. Recent visitors also cite the desirable hotel amenities, including a rooftop pool and fitness center complete with a sauna, as well as on-site restaurant Latitude 41, as reasons to return. The only downside, according to some guests, is the confusing valet parking arrangement.

If you're searching for accommodations on The Ohio State University's campus, look no further than The Blackwell Inn. Situated within walking distance of most major campus facilities, The Blackwell boasts a prime location. Plus, each of the hotel's spacious accommodations features a 37-inch flat-screen TV, Keurig coffee makers, a minibar and complimentary Wi-Fi access. You'll also find a 24-hour fitness center and Bistro 2110 restaurant, which receives high praise from recent patrons. The hotel's staff members also receive big kudos from past guests for their willingness to help and friendly demeanors. To top it off, the hotel offers shuttle service from Port Columbus International Airport; however, you must make arrangements with the concierge at least 48 hours in advance of your stay.

Located on the eastern outskirts of downtown Cleveland and adjacent to the Cleveland Botanical Garden, Glidden House is a historic 60-room boutique hotel located on the Case Western Reserve University Campus. The main structure of Glidden House was built in 1910 by heirs to the Glidden Paint company and houses the Vintage Suites accommodations; a separate building houses the "Modish" guest rooms. Travelers can choose from a queen-sized bed, a king-sized bed or two double beds, and all rooms include 50-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee makers and complimentary Wi-Fi. Common areas are a mix of old and new, with modern furniture and vintage accents. On-site amenities include a business center, prominent art collections, and the Trentina restaurant that serves modern and Italian cuisine for dinner and weekend brunch only. Recent guests raved about the complimentary European-style breakfast. This hotel also has meeting and outdoor event space, making it popular with weddings.

This Ritz property receives rave reviews among recent guests for its locale adjacent to the Tower City mall and its 206 luxury accommodations with sleek flat-screen TVs, marble bathrooms, fully stocked minibars, complimentary morning newspapers and picturesque views of Cuyahoga River, Lake Erie or downtown Cleveland. The property is fresh off a 2017 renovation – and travelers love the updated interiors, fitness center and restaurant. And thanks to the Ritz-Carlton's Marriott ties, you can receive extra perks by choosing to bed down here if you take part in the Marriott Bonvoy program. This Ritz's location is ideal for city exploration: You'll find it just down the road from two stadiums – the Quicken Loans Arena and Progressive Field. When dinnertime rolls around, indulge in tasty American cuisine at TURN Bar + Kitchen. Most recent visitors report a pleasant experience all around and say the staff members are friendly and helpful. However, guests warn a stay here doesn't come cheap.

Just north of the Greater Columbus Convention Center and within a few miles of many Columbus attractions, this hotel is a popular choice with those traveling for business and for pleasure. Accommodations at Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph are decked out in earth tones and all come equipped with espresso machines, desks and refreshment centers, plus beds with crisp white linens and wooden headboards, though there are fees for Wi-Fi access. On-site amenities at this hotel include a fitness center, spa services and a restaurant, but not much else. However, recent guests didn't seem to mind: Travelers consistently praise the property's comfortable beds, the tasty food at the on-site eatery and the employees for being exceptionally hospitable and helpful. And because Le Méridien hotels are part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Previous visitors praised the InterContinental Cleveland for its reasonable room rates, easy access to the Cleveland Clinic and tasty cuisine served at on-site eateries, North Coast Café and Table 45. As far as bedding down is concerned, you can rest assured that you'll have high-end room amenities, like goose down comforters, 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton linens, lavish bath products and sleek flat-screen TVs. As an added bonus, if you're a frequent guest of InterContinental properties, you're eligible to receive free perks, such as free nights' stays through the company's IHG Rewards Club. The hotel's only drawback, according to some recent guests, is its subpar cleaning service. And since the hotel sits on the Cleveland Clinic Health System campus, it's highly frequented by hospital visitors and patients. As such, and due to its zero-tolerance noise policy at night, this hotel should not be your top choice for raucous weekends or rowdy birthday parties.

Located on West Fifth Street in Cincinnati's Central Business District, this hotel earns high praise from recent guests for its convenient location and sophisticated atmosphere. Dating back to 1931, the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza is a National Historic Landmark with a French art deco design. The lobby features Brazilian rosewood paneling and gorgeous ceiling murals. Inside the rooms, you'll find signature Hilton amenities like plush Serenity beds, complimentary high-speed internet access, flat-screen TVs and coffee makers. And as an added bonus, if you take part in the Hilton Honors rewards program, you can rest assured that you're eligible to accrue or redeem extras, such as free nights' stays, by choosing to stay here. This Hilton also contains a pool and a fitness center – though recent guests thought both were on the smaller side – and three on-site eateries. Previous patrons only have positive things to say about Orchids at Palm Court, citing tasty cuisine and top-notch service as reasons to return.

Located across the street from the Polaris Mall in Columbus, Ohio, Hilton Columbus/Polaris offers convenient access to dozens of shopping, dining and entertainment options. What’s more, downtown Columbus, with its many attractions, is only another 13 miles away. Each of the property’s 252 guest rooms features a 55-inch flat-screen TV, a sitting area, a minifridge, a coffee maker, a large bathroom and complimentary Wi-Fi access. The hotel’s restaurant, Gemini Grille and Bar, serves American cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On-site, visitors receive access to an indoor pool, a fitness center, a spa, and a hotel shuttle that travels within a 5-mile radius. Recent guests love the spacious, oversized rooms and common areas, but agree that this Hilton is starting to show a bit of wear and tear from years of operating. Hilton Honors members will be pleased to know that they can earn and redeem points while staying here. 

Most recent guests report a pleasant stay at The Westin Cincinnati thanks to the property's convenient Fountain Square location in the downtown area. And while some say the decor is simplistic, guests appreciated that rooms are clean, comfortable and appointed with signature amenities, including Heavenly Beds, along with floor-to-ceiling windows and flat-screen TVs. What's more, the hotel underwent renovations in 2015 to freshen up its accommodations. The property's popular facilities, such as the indoor pool, two dining venues, WestinWORKOUT gym and 24-hour business center, also pleased guests. However, some travelers thought the room rates were a little pricey for an average business hotel. Because Westin is a member of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

The Cincinnatian Hotel first opened its doors in 1882, with a French Second Empire design and "Palace Hotel" for its name. Today, this historic hotel, located on Vine Street, is esteemed for The Palace restaurant, which is currently undergoing renovations until March 2018. The hotel's Cricket Lounge also boasts delectable fare and a relaxed ambiance, further enhanced by its surrounding eight-story atrium. But the elegant and comfortable rooms, appointed with calming beige and red accents, wooden furnishings, luxurious linens, complimentary Wi-Fi access and deep soaking tubs, are popular among guests, too. However, what recent visitors appreciate the most is the hotel's romantic atmosphere and extremely friendly staff. While recent guests loved the staff, they did notice that the older building could use some updating. 

Location is the prime selling point of this Westin in Cleveland – and what recent guests said they loved most about this property. The hotel puts guests within walking distance of both sightseeing hot spots, such as Progressive Field, FirstEnergy Stadium and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and business facilities like the Cleveland Convention Center. Visitors will find plenty to do on the premises as well. The Westin Cleveland Downtown boasts a 24-hour business center, a restaurant serving farm-to-table food and a fitness studio. But if you would rather get outside, the hotel provides running maps of the area and will lend guests workout gear for a small fee. Back at the hotel, travelers will find that rooms come with Westin's signature Heavenly Beds, flat-screen TVs, glass-topped work desks, internet access (for a fee) and views of the Cleveland skyline or Lake Erie. In addition to the Westin's ideal location, past guests lauded the hotel's employees saying they went above and beyond to make their stays pleasant. Though, some travelers said there was room for improvement with the hotel's room service and Wi-Fi speeds, and many wished the valet parking fee wasn't so steep (it's $30 per night). If you're a member of the Marriott Bonvoy program, you can offset costs by using points to cover your stay.

A block from the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland and just south of the Lake Erie shoreline, the Cleveland Marriott Downtown at Key Tower welcomes visitors with 400 guest rooms and suites. Rooms offer city or lake views, and either one king-sized bed or two double beds. All accommodations come with bathrobes, TVs with premium channels including HBO, minifridges, coffee makers and work desks. Bathrooms have marble vanities and shower and tub combos. There's an additional fee for in-room Wi-Fi access and parking. Hotel guests have access to the swanky 20,000-square-foot Vedas fitness center, which also offers fitness classes for a fee, and the spa and salon. Recent guests raved about the friendly and knowledgeable customer service at this property. This Marriott hotel offers a few on-site dining choices. Il Venetian serves Italian fare, the Public Square Pantry is a grab-and-go option open for breakfast lunch and dinner, and Greatroom offers modern American fare and drinks for lunch and dinner. What's more, loyal Marriott guests can earn and redeem Marriott Rewards points during their stay.

The Hyatt Regency is situated in downtown Cincinnati and a good choice for travelers catching a game at nearby Paul Brown Stadium or the Great American Ball Park – both are within walking distance of the hotel. Rooms at the property are equipped with coffee makers, flat-screen TVs, iHome radios and Hyatt's signature Grand Beds. Recent guests suggested requesting a room on a higher floor for impressive Cincinnati skyline views. Past lodgers also noted that while the rooms were exceptionally clean, standard rooms and bathrooms were on the smaller side. But most travelers spent their time outside of the room – the hotel has a fitness center and a fifth-floor glass-enclosed heated pool with an attached sundeck. When you get hungry, sit down for a meal at Red Roost Tavern or grab a quick bite at The Market, which serves salads and paninis to go. And thanks to the hotel's Hyatt ties, loyalty program members can collect and use points for perks like meals at the hotel's restaurants.

This Marriott property rises 15 floors atop Public Square in downtown Cleveland. Its stone exterior is lined by maroon awnings on the street level, giving it a very elegant appearance. And the sophisticated look extends to the hotel's interior as well. Inside, guests are greeted with an airy main lobby appointed with large chandeliers and gold and red accents. Upstairs, guest rooms feature blue velvet accents, sumptuous down comforters and flat-screen TVs. However, the hotel's best asset, according to previous visitors, is its attentive hotel staff. The only complaints among recent guests were some signs of wear and tear in guest rooms and the pricey parking fees. But on the plus side, if you frequent Marriott properties, you're eligible to earn and use points here thanks to Marriott's rewards program. When you're stomach starts to rumble, check out Sans Souci, the hotel's on-site Mediterranean eatery.

Don't get this InterContinental mixed up with the InterContinental Cleveland. The InterContinental Suites Hotel Cleveland sits on Euclid Avenue, at the western end of the Cleveland Clinic Health System. And it sets itself apart from its sister property with its comfortable accommodations, furnished with iHome radios, minifridges and flat-screen TVs. Though it may not be your first pick for an extravagant getaway, guests say the InterContinental makes an excellent place to unwind after surgery thanks to its convenient location, ample space and attentive staff. The hotel is also home to a fitness center and the C2 Restaurant, Bar and Lounge. An added bonus: if you participate in the IHG Rewards Club program, you can earn or redeem points by choosing to stay here. The only complaint from some previous patrons was that the room rates were on the pricey side for the limited on-site amenities, adding that they wished a pool, a spa or additional on-site eateries were available.

Recent visitors enjoy this Westin's proximity to the German Village and Brewery District neighborhoods, as well as its elegant, historic building. The Westin Columbus was once The Great Southern Hotel, which opened in 1897. And even though it's now refurbished with 21st-century comforts like iHome radios and custom Heavenly Beds and toiletries, the original stained-glass windows and crystal chandeliers transport guests to yesteryear. Additionally, the hotel boasts two dining options, as well as a fitness center. The only drawbacks, according to a few previous guests, are that guest rooms are a tad cramped and the walls are rather thin. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

Situated right off Columbus's Capitol Square (across the street from the Ohio Statehouse), this Sheraton outpost receives ample praise for its convenient downtown Columbus location. When you're not out sightseeing, you can relax in your guest room; accommodations feature Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Beds, Shine by Sheraton toiletries and flat-screen TVs. (While recent visitors appreciate the comfy amenities, they're less complimentary of the hotel's valet parking attendants, which they note as exceptionally slow.) Step outside your lodgings and you'll find a fitness center, an on-site Starbucks and the Plaza Restaurant. Guests offer favorable reviews of the restaurant, citing tasty food and reasonably priced dishes, but they're also quick to recommend exploring the food scene in downtown Columbus. Need another reason to stay here? If you're a member of the Marriott Bonvoy program, you can earn points for future perks or cash in rewards for complimentary nights.

The Hilton Columbus at Easton is just about 10 miles northeast of downtown Columbus, but if you're interested in shopping, this hotel makes an excellent home base since it cozies up to the Easton Town Center open-air shopping district. Many recent guests praise the Hilton's clean, spacious guest rooms, equipped with 37-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee makers and sumptuous Serenity beds. This Hilton also earns kudos from previous visitors for its pool and fitness center. But what sets the property apart from its competitors is its convenient location, situated among retail and restaurants galore. If you prefer to dine in, you'll have access to the laid-back Easton Sports Club, Cappucino's cafe and the Dining Room, which recent patrons say features a sophisticated ambiance and an attentive wait staff. Those participating in the Hilton HHonors rewards program, may receive extra perks, like complimentary nights' stays, by choosing to stay here.
