At 21c, discover contemporary art in the most unexpected places, from the sidewalks to the elevators. Specially commissioned site-specific works by some of the contemporary art world's most exciting talent can be found throughout the museum; meanwhile, rotating exhibitions transform the galleries into ever-changing spaces, offering ample reason to visit 21c Cincinnati regularly.

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.  The museum is open to the public 24/7; and exhibitions and cultural programs rotate often, so be sure to check the calendar for our ever-changing cultural programs.

• Free and open to the public 365 days/year
• Guided docent tours offered WED + FRI @ 5pm

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.

Outfitted with comfortable beds, plush robes, and Malin + Goetz bath amenities, the guest rooms also include a 42” HDTV flat screen television, a fully stocked minibar, a Nespresso coffee machine, an alarm clock/docking station and free wi-fi. We hope you’ll feel refreshed, restored, and ready to explore.

A Culinary Revolution in Downtown Cincinnati

At Metropole, our Cincinnati restaurant, the menu is constantly changing. That’s because executive chef Jared Bennett sources the best seasonal ingredients from sustainable farmers and producers around the region, then finds creative ways to cook them in a custom built, wood-burning fireplace. At the front of Metropole, an inviting bar and lounge allows hotel guests and locals alike to sample a rotating selection of craft beers on tap, house-made cocktails, and bourbons, plus a smart selection of Old and New World wines.

Open seasonally, our rooftop Cocktail Terrace offers stunning views of downtown Cincinnati. The menu focuses on creative cocktails and offers a small selection of wine, beer, and bar snacks from Metropole.
