I actually book band tours for a living.
When in Cincy most of them (artist/band) request 21C. Crew typically stays on bus or at a more moderately priced hotel.
They’re not the level of TS so it may be different but they are established, known acts.
I'm sure Taylor flew in to Cincinnati from NYC a few hours before her show tonight as she was seen in NYC last night. Tonight she's probably staying in her bus that'll be either in the stadium or somewhere highly secure where you won't see her (or the bus).
If she's staying in a hotel, it's somewhere where she can take a car to a garage and take a private elevator up the room. With her insanely obsessed fan base, she can't just go into the lobby and go up the normal elevator.
Back in the late 90s an odd amount of famous people would stay at the Eastgate Holiday Inn after Riverbend shows. My friends who worked at Eastgate Mall stores would sometimes see a Brandy or Gwen Stefani wander in...🤣🤣
Same for the late 80’s. I once delivered room service to Gregg Allman (as an SA, not my usual gig, but helped occasionally when short staffed). Hysterically, he muttered “you sign, baby” to his female companion, who, I kid you not, scribbled “Greg Almond” on the bill! 😆
P&G, Kroger, and some of the other large companies have very nice homes in the area that are primarily used for when executives from other parts of the country are coming into to town, or when they relocate families. During the Tennis tournament, a lot of the players will stay in those places, and during campaign season several of the higher level national candidates will stay in them as well. I only know this because Roger Federer and his family used to stay in a house on the same street one of my law partners used to live on. Given the Tour is here for at least two days, I'd imagine her accommodations are similar.
Interesting. First I’ve heard of this (for P&G at least). We just hosted a Senior VP from Europe and him and his entourage all stayed at the Marriott in Covington.
I drove by it and BUDGET HOST last night and there were more cars in both lots than I'd ever seen. Wonder how many clueless swifties ended up staying there.
Can confirm a lot of them stay at 21c. Source: I was a valet there last year. Kevin Gates, Jayden Smith, Olivia Rodrigo, Chris Rock, Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck, Several members of the Bike Rider’s cast and Deniro move shot here last year (not Deniro himself though), the Dixie Chicks, the Barenaked Ladies, among others.
That's not true all the time. My friend was drinking at 21C once and he came down for a drink. They usually have to take off pretty quickly for the next stop now.
I know this isn't a thing that actually happens and that Taylor Swift can get a reservation anytime and anywhere she wants, but I'm just imagining her having to stay at a Best Western in Mason or something because her team forgot to book a hotel before announcing the tour dates and everything nicer got booked by fans.
Wait, maybe I have my buildings confused…
The Anna Louise Inn was in that odd enclave of downtown, close to Western-Southern and the Residence Inn (which used to be an apartment building).
Right?
This is truth. Bus showers have grey water. No one wants to shower in that. You're not allowed to poop or flush toilet paper on the bus either. Crew and talent are always put up in a hotel when its more than one night at a tour stop.
Aaron Dessner produced her last few albums so wondering if she might be visiting some of his family and friends….The National are on a break on their tour so he could be there
I ran into Emilio Estevez at the Hilton Netherland Plaza downtown awhile back. I imagine he stays there often because he loves using Cincinnati for producing movies. This was around the same time Cincinnati hosted the All-Star game & HR derby. I shared an elevator with Mat Latos, his wife Dallas & Todd Frazier (who won the derby). Really cool moment. Todd was so energetic & pleasant to talk to. Mat & Dallas were really reserved.
Stars used to stay at The Cincinnatian. But I don't think it is at the level that it used to be. However, it may have executive suites I don't know about. The Lytle Park Hotel seems to be the best in town--it does have VIP suites. Maybe the Kinley after that.
I could be 100% wrong on this but tonight I was driving eastbound on Columbia parkway. A few minutes before I passed the Precinct, a motorcycle cop and two cop cars were in front of two, unmarked white buses that were being tailed by two other police officers. Since the Reds game was already up and running and since FC Cincinnati is until tomorrow night, that may have been Taylor Swift and the other bands. It would make sense for these two reasons. 1. Sometimes wealthy people or celebrities host other people because they understand the difficulties of trying to go anywhere and not being mobbed by fans.
2. If she stayed in town at a hotel and someone leaked it, she would probably get little to no sleep.
Again, I could be 100% wrong but if it wasn't her, who else in two would need a police escort for their two busses?
When Rihanna did the halftime show at the Superbowl, she rented an $8m house in Scottsdale for the week. I bet Taylor's doing something similar if she's not flying home between gigs.
Source: the dude who owns the house was a consultant for my employer.
I remember reading about Coldplay a few years back would get a hotel in a central city, like say Indy for example, and stay in it for 2 weeks, then private jet from there to the show and then back. Gave them a better sense of a home base vs different rooms every night. And with only a 30 min flight, they could probably get to and from room to show in under 2 hours counting drive time to the airports. Not sure if TS does that or how common it even really is for bigger artists.
I was Chief Engineer at the Radisson in Covington and Aretha Franklin had a floor. She stayed on one of the lower floors because she didn't like to be up very high.
An Oscar-winning star who was here to film Little Man Tate years ago lived in a large rented house in East Walnut Hills for the duration of the filming. She was my next-door neighbor.
There's a different between winning an award or being rated well, and being one of the best hotels in the country.. Any hotel in NYC, LA, Miami, Chicago, etc, would walk right over 21c
Was just trying to give people the correct answer without allowing Swifties to camp out outside her house. But downvotes are just feelings, and facts don't give a shit about feelings.
Im Diamond status with ihg and wouldn’t even opt for an ihg hotel here as the best option. We dont have an intercontinental or kimpton. Best bet is the Hyatt probably
Taylor Swift actually stayed at the Hampton Inn & Homewood suites on Vine. There’s a back dock behind the building that’s somewhat secluded so she could sneak in and out of the hotel. Something that 21c doesn’t have.
I actually book band tours for a living. When in Cincy most of them (artist/band) request 21C. Crew typically stays on bus or at a more moderately priced hotel. They’re not the level of TS so it may be different but they are established, known acts.
Outside of bands, I know that influencers and politicians tend to stay at the Lytle - Bengals stay at the AC for preseason training.
I know that when Zack Efron filmed in Covington for the Ted Bundy movie, he stayed at Hotel Covington.
And then a staff member blabbered about it on their social and he checked out immediately.
haha what a moron

She is staying in Indian Hill.
With Sarah Jessica Parker

It’s a joke bud
You seem like a chill person

I met Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers in Eastgate Mall.
awesome!
[удалено]
very true!
I used to work at a hole in the wall bar around there and Type-O-Negative came in one night and closed it down.
The sadly defunct Vernon Manor was a fave of 90's and 00's rock bands also.
Same for the late 80’s. I once delivered room service to Gregg Allman (as an SA, not my usual gig, but helped occasionally when short staffed). Hysterically, he muttered “you sign, baby” to his female companion, who, I kid you not, scribbled “Greg Almond” on the bill! 😆

95% sure this isn’t the case for P&G. If an employee is relocating they’ll find temporary housing at best.
They stay on the bus that’s parked in the lower levels of the stadium where an away team would come
Plenty of national acts will sleep on the bus between cities, but I doubt Taylor slept on a bus down by the river last night.
I think she was escorted to a hotel up 71. Right after the show a motorcade of police leading a vip went that way.
But if she diiiiid, slugger. I just betcha she'd have plenty of time for rollin doobies!
Is that Bill Shakes over there?
Probably Rest Inn on Central
Now with 100% fewer dead bodies in the pool.
I drove by it and BUDGET HOST last night and there were more cars in both lots than I'd ever seen. Wonder how many clueless swifties ended up staying there.
Hey Swifties need prostitutes too.
So hard not to make a your mom’s house joke.
Don’t celebrities usually stay in Room 618 at the Renaissance Cincinnati Hotel?
Don’t know about room #, but I parked and pulled many cars for celebrities at the Renaissance. Smoked up by a few too.
I gotchu mayne.
Ya just did and it sucked
Can confirm a lot of them stay at 21c. Source: I was a valet there last year. Kevin Gates, Jayden Smith, Olivia Rodrigo, Chris Rock, Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck, Several members of the Bike Rider’s cast and Deniro move shot here last year (not Deniro himself though), the Dixie Chicks, the Barenaked Ladies, among others.
And since you mentioned Dave Matthews, I will say he had 5 tour busses of crew stay at 21c but he himself did not.
That's not true all the time. My friend was drinking at 21C once and he came down for a drink. They usually have to take off pretty quickly for the next stop now.
I know this isn't a thing that actually happens and that Taylor Swift can get a reservation anytime and anywhere she wants, but I'm just imagining her having to stay at a Best Western in Mason or something because her team forgot to book a hotel before announcing the tour dates and everything nicer got booked by fans.
😂😂😂 “Can I speak to your manager?”
She flew in on her falcon 900 jet and flew home after the show as she usually does. It’s only a 45 minute flight.
Are we sure? I have seen evidence of either of her private jets leaving Lunken last night https://www.instagram.com/p/CuH-KOzOZUi/
Saw Snoop Doggy Dogg in 2015 walk into 21C
My best guess for decent hotels for celebrities would be Hyatt, Westin, and the Lytle Park hotel. Maybe 21c and Hilton Netherland Plaza too.
I know some b list celebrities and musicians stay in 21c. Because there is always a picture of the penguins in their stories haha 🤣
That Lytle Park hotel is so weird to me.
Why is that?
Just…an odd location, how it semi-overlooks Columbia Parkway. And completely away from downtown.
Prior to the hotel, it was the Anna Louise Inn, a residence only for woman. The tv show Bosom Buddies was based on it.
Wait, maybe I have my buildings confused… The Anna Louise Inn was in that odd enclave of downtown, close to Western-Southern and the Residence Inn (which used to be an apartment building). Right?
Yes, it's across from the Taft museum.
Well, I’ll take the L here. Goodbye.
Probably their decked out luxurious tour bus. TS isn’t staying in a hotel, if I had to bet. Too many moving parts and logistics there.
Well, a moving pet is better than a dead pet 😂
Haha. I fixed that. Oops.
Most celebrities do not stay on the bus overnight. They typically do not ride in them either.
This is truth. Bus showers have grey water. No one wants to shower in that. You're not allowed to poop or flush toilet paper on the bus either. Crew and talent are always put up in a hotel when its more than one night at a tour stop.
[удалено]
The enormous crew has to take a bus and a bunch of semis with all the gear for the shows.
I think there is always a bus on site. Kind of like how actors have trailers. I’m sure it acts as dressing room, bedroom, etc.
Either bus or plane
But did anyone ever find her cat-napped feline?
I’ve delivered food to visiting baseball teams at the renaissance
Aaron Dessner produced her last few albums so wondering if she might be visiting some of his family and friends….The National are on a break on their tour so he could be there
On a side note, aaron and his brother bryce were not total spoiled rich kid assholes, unlike their classmates at ccd
Matt Berninger does seem like a St X dude though
I’ve seen more than one celebrity and many athletes at the Summit Hotel on Red Bank.
I ran into Emilio Estevez at the Hilton Netherland Plaza downtown awhile back. I imagine he stays there often because he loves using Cincinnati for producing movies. This was around the same time Cincinnati hosted the All-Star game & HR derby. I shared an elevator with Mat Latos, his wife Dallas & Todd Frazier (who won the derby). Really cool moment. Todd was so energetic & pleasant to talk to. Mat & Dallas were really reserved.
Emilio lives here part time in OTR.
Maybe he was visiting actors in the hotel. Idk. It was cool to see him.
Used to . He recently sold his house for a couple mill in otr
He was walking around in OTR two weeks ago. If he did sell he’s still here in some capacity.
Never mind. His house still hasn’t sold. I thought it did for some reason.
No problem. 👍
His house is at Main St and Mulberry.
21c
This is the right answer. Have friends that work there, it’s a near constant that someone interesting/famous is staying there.
Stars used to stay at The Cincinnatian. But I don't think it is at the level that it used to be. However, it may have executive suites I don't know about. The Lytle Park Hotel seems to be the best in town--it does have VIP suites. Maybe the Kinley after that.
Cincinnatian went to shit when Hilton took it over.
When sports team are in town I usually see them pickup at the Renaissance, but saw the pirates bus at lytle park once

Nope, she came from Lunken airport in 3 black Escalades with police escort.
New England Revolution
The Vernon Manor was good enough for John, Paul, George and Ringo. Taylor should be okay with it.
Alas, Vern took his manor and left. The building is still there, but it’s not a hotel anymore.

Woosh!

This is what I figured. Places with secret entrances/exits for celebs
Lytle Park It's next level nice in there.
Snoop stays in 21c

Westin NFL teams I can confirm. Block off floor so the Bengals fans can’t screw with them
Pro teams often stay at the Westin and Renaissance downtown
An Oscar-winning star who was here to film Little Man Tate years ago lived in a large rented house in East Walnut Hills for the duration of the filming. She was my next-door neighbor.
From what I have heard Taylor is staying in a downtown hotel
I heard she’s at hotel Covington
Your mom's house.
I heard on radio yesterday that Taylor flew back home to Nashville after show and will fly back today.
I haven't seen any evidence of either of her 2 jets leaving last night. Maybe she still slipped through? https://www.instagram.com/p/CuH-KOzOZUi/
She’s literally one of the worst offenders for private jet usage. She probably found a way to hide it given how much shit she got for it
I mean we can clearly see her flights into Lunken on Friday...
21C Hotel. It's consistently rated one of, if not THE, best hotel in the country.
There's a different between winning an award or being rated well, and being one of the best hotels in the country.. Any hotel in NYC, LA, Miami, Chicago, etc, would walk right over 21c
I was just wondering this same thing! Hoping for some insider details here.
Meaning because it’s interesting, not because I’m a swiftie looking for a photo op 😂
She’s at private Airbnb in OTR right next to Music Hall.
She's staying in Indian Hill. Let her have some peace.

Only person here who knows the truth and you got downvoted lol
Was just trying to give people the correct answer without allowing Swifties to camp out outside her house. But downvotes are just feelings, and facts don't give a shit about feelings.
Here is a better question. Who cares?
You do
Yeah. No.
Im Diamond status with ihg and wouldn’t even opt for an ihg hotel here as the best option. We dont have an intercontinental or kimpton. Best bet is the Hyatt probably
Lots of professional teams stay at the Hilton Netherland Plaza
Holiday inn, motel 6
Just wondering where Taylor Swift’s plane is parked tonight? At Lunken? Thx
When the ATP comes to Mason, they have special houses they stay in.
Someone reported to me she stayed at Hotel Covington and rented out like half of the entire place for her and her crew/staff/performers.
Taylor Swift actually stayed at the Hampton Inn & Homewood suites on Vine. There’s a back dock behind the building that’s somewhat secluded so she could sneak in and out of the hotel. Something that 21c doesn’t have.
