Where to Stay
Hotels, airbnb’s or other
For ideas on where to stay in and around Cincinnati https://www.airbnb.com/wishlists/1193297769
Airbnb, vrbo, and booking.com all have great spots or have a look at the map of Cincinnati here for the area in which we recommend you getting a hotel!
Over-the-Rhine (OTR) and Pendleton are hip areas in Cincinnati with lots of bars, restaurants and shops.
As you get further out, you’ll need a car or uber to get to OTR, downtown or riverside. Surrounding areas like Oakley are generally a little quieter, but Oakley square, Mt Lookout, Mt Adams, and Hyde Park square are gems.
We will provide busses from the ceremony to the party for those who need it. Please include that in your rsvp for head count.
