Mariemont – Classic Tudors and English Gardens

Congratulations Mariemont! This cozy eastern suburb was just rated 1 of 10 Best Neighborhoods in the US by The American Planning Association. Mariemont is a sidewalk community, where residents and visitors alike stroll to movies, dining, and shopping located in the center of town.

Founded in 1923, Mariemont was modeled to resemble an English garden city.  The planners were clearly successful.  Charming cottages and classic Tudors, complimented by lush gardens and tree-lined streets immediately impart the feel of Merry Ole’ England.  But Mariemont, for all its nostalgia and charm, is  certainly up to date!  The village’s official web site beautifully tells the story of Mariemont’s founders.  The Mariemont Preservation Foundation  is dedicated to helping longtime residents and newcomers to the village, appreciate Mariemont’s rich story. Be sure to read the history of the Family Statuary and the Bell Tower Carillon. Mariemont Recreation Association will bring you up to date on the swimming and tennis passes.

Anchoring the village square is The National Exemplar, at the Mariemont Inn.  Your visit to the square must include a meal at the National Exemplar.

The Mariemont Inn– The “Crown Jewel”, was built in the mid 1920’s.  Just 15 minutes to downtown Cincinnati. Easy access to I-71. The Mariemont Inn features 45 beautifully renovated guestrooms.

The National Exemplar – Warm and inviting décor. I love the breakfast, especially the Bacado. Excellent!

Any night is “Date Night” in Mariemont. 

Mariemont Theatre  is the place for independent, foreign, and mainstream films alike.  You must take advantage of Bargain Tuesday or Wednesday’s Dinner and a Movie.
