The whole place is absolutely fabulous! The decor is stunning, the furniture is comfy, it's gorgeous! Do yourself a favor and park a few blocks away at one of the public lots and save yourself some money. Would recommend for sure!

Anniversary Getaway

We took our 5-month old along for a night downtown at this stunning location. The property was gorgeous and exactly matched the online description. Everything in the apartment was well thought out, from the decor to the amenities. The location was excellent, just a short walk from Sotto, Boca, and the Monet experience. We will definitely return here again!

Apartment was great, building leaves something to be desired

This was a location for an opening reception, and the apartment was clean and very interesting - perfect for the event. Construction at the entrance was disruptive and did not create a welcoming environment.

Perfect Getaway!

The Penthouse at The Lyric Cincinnati was perfect for our weekend getaway. The charm was evident beginning with the vintage elevator that opened to the penthouse. It continued across the threshold where historic details melded with the modern updates throughout. Beautiful decor, comfortable furnishings and thoughtful amenities provided a delightful escape. The location provided easy access for travel around the city and communcation was very responsive. We're looking forward to future visits to The Lyric Cincinnati!
