At every turn, 21c Cincinnati offers something to be curious about. As you approach, enjoy Werner Reiterer’s Untitled as it hovers over the sidewalk, breathing in and out; then, walk through Healing Tiles‘ glowing pool of organic patterns, and don’t miss an evening viewing of Lightmail in the solarium.  Our galleries are open every day and exhibitions rotate, so make plans to visit often, and be sure to take advantage of regular cultural programming, too.

Virtual Museum Tour

21c enlisted architecture and interiors firm Deborah Berke Partners to reimagine the 100-year old Metropole Hotel, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as a contemporary art museum, boutique hotel, and restaurant and bar. The design team worked to restore the character of this once-grand hotel while creating a modern, forward-thinking space to showcase the work of today’s artists.

The 156 spacious guest rooms are filled with custom furnishings that lend a decidedly residential feel, providing a comfortable respite from the thought-provoking art and nonstop energy that fills the museum galleries.

Looking for more than just an ordinary hotel visit? Kick your stay up a notch with our specially curated experiences.

Our dynamic experiences are crafted to ensure that your stay is truly one-of-a-kind. From a riveting game of I-Spy in our museum to a culturally eye-opening adventure downtown-not to mention a rotating lineup of seasonal goodies and indulgent spa time- we have just the package for you.
