On a lighter note, Marriott’s Cincinnati hotel guests also love the quirky American Sign Museum, home to thousands of early 20th-century gold leaf glass signs and neon extravaganzas. The Ohio River played a significant role for the Underground Railroad, and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center retells the compelling story.
The Newport Aquarium mesmerizes visitors with 200 feet of underwater tunnels and 7,000 aquatic creatures. Guests cheer the NFL Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium and observe real-life Malayan tigers at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. Roaring crowds alert travelers that the Marriott Cincinnati hotel is across the river from the Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds. Of course, the culinary scene with must-tastes like Graeter’s Ice Cream (Oprah’s favorite), Glier’s Goetta and Skyline Chili certainly recommends the city as well. Immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow as “Queen of the West” and once famous as a pork-packing powerhouse, Cincinnati features several Marriott hotels and easily wins over travelers with its graceful style.
