Situated in the heart of The Queen City, the 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati was once the esteemed Hotel Metropole.

About 50 years after the Hotel Metropole had closed, 21c Museum Hotels acquired the building and transformed it into the 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a B&B and a boutique hotel?

A B&B is typically an owner-operated home with a few guest rooms and homemade breakfast. A boutique hotel is a small, design-focused hotel (usually under 100 rooms) with unique decor, upscale amenities, and a restaurant or bar. B&Bs are more personal; boutique hotels are more polished.

How much do unique stays cost in Cincinnati?

B&Bs range from $100-$250/night. Boutique and historic hotels run $150-$400/night. Inns are $120-$300/night. Wilderness lodges and resorts can be $200-$600+/night, often including meals and activities. Prices vary by season — summer and fall (leaf peeping) are peak in most regions.

What are the best regions for a B&B getaway?

New England (Vermont, Maine, the Berkshires), California wine country and the coast, the Carolinas and Georgia low country, Colorado mountain towns, and the Pacific Northwest are all exceptional B&B and inn regions. Each offers unique scenery, food, and experiences.

Do B&Bs and inns accommodate families?

Many do, but some are adults-only for a quieter atmosphere. Check the property listing or call ahead. Family-friendly properties often highlight kid amenities, connecting rooms, or cabins. Lodges, resorts, and larger inns tend to be more family-oriented than small B&Bs.

What is the cancellation policy for independent stays?

Policies vary by property — most require 48-72 hours notice for a full refund. Peak season and holiday bookings may require 7-14 days notice or be non-refundable. Always check the cancellation terms before booking. Booking direct (not through aggregators) often gives you more flexibility.

Why book a B&B or inn instead of a hotel chain?

Independent stays offer unique character, local knowledge from owners, homemade food, and often better value. You support small businesses and local economies. The experience is personal — owners recommend restaurants, hidden trails, and local events that guidebooks miss.
