Hotel Covington Cincinnati Riverfront

Hotel Covington embodies the transformation of a celebrated, century-old downtown building into a modern luxury hotel. Hotel Covington will appeal to business and leisure travelers accustomed to upscale hotels in primary markets seeking an authentic and locally influenced experience. The hotel draws inspiration from the local culture and cultivates a following through a sense of civic pride and exciting food & beverage. Hotel Covington will pull inspiration from its northern and southern sisters, but a cohesive mix of styles will ultimately lend individuality. A story will be told through regional and local sourcing, and will become the pulse of Covington and beyond: unique yet comfortable, casual yet refined, and timeless yet evolving. By reimagining the historically designated Coppin's Department Store, which was open from 1910 to 1977, into a 114-room hotel, this significant project is certain to become the springboard for development in Covington's downtown business district and will deliver urban renewal South of the riverfront developments.

Great location, great food, practical and upscale

Reviewed By Elizabeth E

I honestly wish I could just live in this hotel (I'm a writer, so I do a lot of retreats in various towns, usually in larger spaces, but this hotel has that vibe and I'd love about two weeks to "live" here). It's upscale without being fussy and awkward. The food and drinks are top notch, the staff goes out of their way to be both nice and accommodating. Rooms are large, comfortably firm bed, great showers, great touches that reflect the history of the area and Kentucky/Ohio as a whole. The town itself is a hidden gem, tons of restaurants and history/historic architecture out the front door. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Great stay!!

Reviewed By Kelly H

Fantastic in every way!!! Check in to check out, perfect stay!!! This hotel is very clean, the rooms were very nice and the bed was soo comfortable!! The staff was phenomenal and very friendly. The only improvement that is needed would be breakfast like other reviewers mentioned. No doubt breakfast could be stepped up a notch, the eggs were bland and the sausage was dry. Hopefully they improve this but it’s just my suggestion. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, next time we are in town…this will be our place!

Great location, a short walk to the Great American Ballpark. Staff was friendly. There was an issue with our room, the carpet was wet. Apparently it was recently steam-cleaned. We were given another room without an issue.

Blood stained bed pillow! And not just a drop of blood, I mean blood. Stained mattress, hair everywhere. Filthy windows and they knew the phone in the room didn't work but failed to mention that! One star is to many

Bug problems

Reviewed By Flyer259023

The hotel looked clean enough, and we booked for price and proximity to the airport. We noticed there were a ton of ants at one of the exit doors at check in. In our room we killed several small flying insects and when we woke up in the morning anything that had ever been touching food was swarmed by ants. As we left we informed the front desk about the problem and they just said they knew.

Used this hotel while visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Lots to do within a short distance. Overall, the hotel was pretty decent. No exhaust fan in the bathroom, showers were very steamy without the door open. Would stay again though.

Great Experience!

Reviewed By jj3laird

This is a great place to stay in the Cincinnati area. Our room was at a similar or less price point than other hotels in the area and yet offered extras such as a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, workout room, laundry facilities, free parking and free breakfast. This location was very close to restaurants, shopping and the Interstate, which made it very convenient. The pool was busy and so were the outdoor gathering spaces, so I believe other guests were enjoying themselves as well. The staff members were helpful, although our visit went so smoothly that I didn't have many interactions with them!

okay place to stay

Reviewed By IronRangeMNGirl

First, our front desk person was wonderful! Super nice and helpful when we checked into our room & it wasn't cleaned yet. She quickly gave us a new room. The location was super nice to go see the aquarium and other sites. And they allow dogs which is wonderful But I have to say their bathroom door was super weird. It was a frosted barn door. So when it "shut" it still had a gap. Super super weird! The property also was a little tired looking and could use some updating
