One of the best hotels in the world is right here in Cincinnati.
Travel + Leisure released its annual list of the 500 best hotels in the world, and Lytle Park Hotel, located at 311 Pike St., made the cut.
The full list is featured in Travel + Leisure’s May 2025 issue. According to a press release, the 2025 list is based on the results of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards, which celebrate the hotels and resorts with “quality, luxury, exceptional service, and outstanding amenities.”

The list is not ranked, but is presented in alphabetical order by region and “serves as an invaluable resource for travelers worldwide,” the release adds. The magazine also recognized Lytle Park Hotel on its 2022 list of the 500 best hotels around the globe.
“We are incredibly honored to be recognized by Travel + Leisure as one of the best hotels in the world,” area managing director and general manager Jeff Sweet said in the release. “This accolade is a true testament to the passion and dedication of our team, who strive every day to create unforgettable experiences for our guests. We are proud to represent Cincinnati on a global stage and to continue welcoming travelers to our beautiful city.”

Lytle Park Hotel is part of the Autograph Collection, a group of independent upscale and luxury hotels within the Marriott International portfolio. The hotel is a combination of two historical buildings and Lytle Park.
The hotel has 105 oversized guestrooms, including 18 suites, and over 11,000 square feet of meeting and event space. In addition, the hotel features a central wine and cocktail bar in the main lobby, Subito, a fine-dining Italian restaurant and lounge, and Vista at Lytle Park, the city’s only four-season rooftop bar and event space that has breathtaking views of Lytle Park, downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River.
