Orchids at Palm Court
A taste of old-world elegance in Cincinnati
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star

Four-Star

Located inside the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, Orchids at Palm Court feels like it’s from a different era, with its dramatic two-story ceilings, rosewood-paneled walls, German silver accents and art deco atmosphere. You’ll find hotel guests along with many locals seated at the white-cloth-covered tables.
The 76-seat restaurant serves up New American cuisine from executive chef George Zappas, who started at the Netherland Plaza in 2008 and worked his way up through the ranks, holding positions as varied as kitchen supervisor to assistant director of food and beverage, before landing the top spot. Zappas also served as a culinary instructor at Cincinnati State.
This team of food artisans was not only instrumental in the restaurant earning the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star award, but also the catalyst behind the establishment being named Hilton Hotels & Resorts' No. 1 Food & Beverage Hotel in the USA for multiple years.
