OTR (Cincinnati, Ohio)

Located in Over-the-Rhine's revitalized arts district, Memorial Hall is a stunning part of Cincinnati history. Built in 1908, it is another incredible example of Samuel Hannaford's work, this time inspired by Beaux Arts architecture. Following that style, the hall features intricate wrought iron and marble staircases. Tiffany chandeliers and beautiful murals also decorate the stunning interior.
Thanks to extensive renovations, Memorial Hall's original character lives on. With four event spaces to choose from, the Hall's elegant architecture and modern amenities will make it perfect for your event. The first space is a gorgeous jewel box theater. It features comfortable seating and updated lighting and sound equipment. With room for 556 guests, the space is excellent for performances or corporate events.
Also on the second floor is the intimate Parkview Room. It is a smaller space with high ceilings and ornate windows that offer breathtaking views of Washington Park. Because of its size, it is best suited for cocktails or smaller dinner parties and events. It is also offered as a compliment to the theater and ballrooms given its proximity to both.
On the first floor, the grand hallway connects two elegant ballrooms. Both spaces have hardwood floors and intricately painted ceilings. Sophisticated lighting and AV capabilities give the space modern comforts. The ballroom also has bar packages and access to the catering kitchen. Finally, the space comes furnished with banquet and reception furniture. With room for 208 seated guests and 600 standing, the space is fantastic for larger weddings, conferences, workshops, or dinners.
Finally, the newly created Studio Space on the lower level features an open room with simple but effective design. It is a new addition to Memorial hall and is good for rehearsals, breakouts, or small meetings. The room has a separate entrance and comes fully furnished.
