The Lafayette Hotel
Marietta, OH
On the banks where the great Ohio and Muskingum Rivers meet sits Marietta, Ohio, a former frontier town incorporated after the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. This riverside town was greatly impacted by the invention of steamboats in the early 1800s, and its importance in early American life was underscored by a visit from the Marquis de Lafayette in 1825. The Lafayette Hotel pays tribute to this moment in history and celebrates over 100 years on Marietta’s riverside. The boutique hotel offers 77 uniquely styled guestrooms, three dining options, and charming vistas of the majestic Ohio River and the Williamstown Bridge.
