As a small but elegant European-style hotel with excellent rooms, it provides the perfect venue for continuing discussions initiated at the Conference. The Cricket, a convivial lounge in the hotel atrium, offers a light menu of sandwiches and salads, while the Palace Restaurant, also located in the hotel, is one of Cincinnati's finest. The Cincinnatian's French Second Empire exterior and spectacular 108-year-old walnut and marble staircase have gained it a place on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Restaurant at the Phoenix, known for its innovative cuisine, will provide the continental breakfasts, the buffet lunches, and the Conference banquet. Dining The Cincinnatian and the Phoenix are in the heart of Cincinnati's well-known restaurant district. You may dine on the Ohio River at Mike Fink's or Crockett's. From the Top of the Crown, you may have your meal high above the city while watching the lights gleam from the river. If you prefer French cuisine, you may wish to sample the Maisonette. Arnold's has atmosphere that may be cut with a knife. There are many more. Our advice is to make early reservations at the restaurant of your choice for dinners on Thursday and Friday.Make your hotel reservations as early as possible, because Cincinnati will host several very large conventions at the same time as ours.
