Step out onto the observation deck of the Carew Tower and you may need to hold your breath.
One of Downtown's most famous buildings, the Carew tower, as Cincinnati’s tallest building, is a treat for the eye. It also has something for everyone-from shopping and restaurants to a great hotel. It is a must-see for any Cincinnatian or anyone traveling through.
When visiting the tower, start from the top. The view is amazing. An observation deck sits atop the 49 stories, and on a clear day you can see all of downtown (including the stadiums and Bengals practice field), an awesome river view, Mt. Adams, the trains and most of Cincy's seven hills. You can also get a taste of the hey-day of the building when walking up the short slights of steps that lead to the deck. They missed the rescent renovation and are still have the original art-deco flavor. Be sure to stop in the gift shop on your way out to pick up a kitschy Cincy souvenir.
If Kitschy souvenirs aren’t your thing, you are sure to find something at the mall located in the lower level. There are dozens of stores, including FYE, Nine West and the Dakota Watch company. When you have had your fill of shopping, book a relaxing facial and massage at Paragon Salon, or enjoy a Cincinnati-famous three-way at Goldstar Chilli.
