"Cincinnati is famous for it's Skyline Chili that is amazing"
Author: , a Hotel Planner from , reviewed on 01-Nov-2013
Score of City:
5.0 / 5

Cincinnati home of the Bengals who keep on scoring big in the renown Paul Brown stadium! This warm historic like city has a wide variety of entertainment and shopping! From Kings Island that has some of the most thrilling roller coasters to Downtown Newport which features tons of shopping outlets! My favorite time of year to visit is in the winter months because they set up an outdoor skating rink in Fountain Square. There also is a ski resort called Perfect North Slopes that is open in the winter season where you can ski, go tubing, and snowboard. It's AWESOME! As far as food Cincinnati is famous for it's Skyline Chili that is amazing and also has many fine restaurants scattered through out the city. As you can tell I'm a huge Cincinnati fan and highly recommend taking a relaxing but exciting fun filled vacation to go see what you've been missing out on!

Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all Cincinnati, OH discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest Cincinnati hotel for each day and each star rating category.

Seasonality of Cincinnati, Ohio

Cincinnati is the kind of city that comes alive in spring. When April and May hit, you can find lots of fun festivals and activities happening. They keep coming through September. If you want to avoid the heat and humidity, visit in May or September. Since these are more popular times to visit Cincinnati, you may notice hotel rates increasing slightly. If you can stand the summer heat, Cincinnati is fun in the hot months, too, because of baseball and river activities. Plus, in August the city throws a great blues fest for music fans.To get the best hotel rates, visit Cincinnati in the winter. Ohio gets relatively cold in winter with Cincinnati's lows in the 20s during the season. Still, the winter temperatures in southern Ohio shouldn't bother anyone from the northernmost part of New England, or even from northern Ohio. Ultimately, Cincinnati doesn't have extreme high and low seasons like some tourist destinations do, so hotel prices won't fluctuate as much as they would in, say, Florida.

Below is a chart of the current pricing seasonality of hotels and motels in Cincinnati, OH:

Cincinnati, OH summarized

Before being renamed into what people call the city today as Cincinnati, it was once called Losantiville. The city is home to a wonderful collection of historical architecture, in fact counted as one of the cities that hold a large collection according to the National Register of Historic Places in the United States. Its collection of Italian architecture is among the largest in the world. The city was once America's earliest boomtown with its legacy still visible and practiced today. The Big Pig Gig celebrates the city's early economy which boomed based on the pork industry. Its riverboat heritage is being celebrated with the city's Tall Stacks Festival, done every four years and transforming the river front into a colorful show. The city has also had some major revitalization of its key historical attractions worth a visit including the Great American Ball Park, Paul Brown Stadium, and Over-the-Rhine. Visitors may leave with the striking beauty of the city's skyline in their minds but still nothing can take place the adventures that in store from visiting world-class attractions like the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal among many others. More than just a classic river city . that is Cincinnati.

'I don't dream at night, I dream all day, I dream for a living- these are the words of famous American producer, director and screenwriter, Steven Spielberg, who was born in Cincinnati.

Soon, it was to become one of the most prosperous and largest cities in the country. Often called the first pure "American City", this is today one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country- especially because of its rich cultural heritage, notable architecture and magnificent hotels in Cincinnati.
