Fodor's Expert Review Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza

Downtown's grand art deco hotel is in the Carew Tower. The two-story lobby has bas-relief sculptures and dramatic fountains and light fixtures; guest rooms have 10-foot ceilings and soft pastel colors but tend to vary in size and configuration, with some rooms noticeably smaller and less grandly appointed. Ask about your room setup when you book. The formal Grille at the Palm Court restaurant serves buffet lunches and fine American cuisine.
