Transportation To Cincinnati,
Delta is the airline of choice. From the Cincinnati Airport, limousine service
is regularly available to downtown. Look for the Jetport Express bus.
The Conference Hotel
The Cincinnatian, a four-star, four-diamond preferred hotel, is located in
downtown Cincinnati at the corner of 6th and Vine _ about twenty minutes from
the airport. 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. For reservations,
please call 1-800-942-9000 (outside Ohio) and 1-800-332-2020 (Ohio). Ask for
the special Ohio Shakespeare Conference rate of $95 per night. The
Cincinnatian is holding our block of rooms only until February 10.
The Conference
(812 Race Street) The Phoenix, a few minutes' walk from the
Cincinnatian, at Garfield Place and Race Street, is the site of the Conference.
One of Cincinnati's most beautiful, elegant, and architecturally significant
Victorian buildings (a National Historic Landmark), the Phoenix contains the
most up-to-date conference facilities. 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.
