Burnet House was a grand hotel that stood at the corner of Third and Vine in Cincinnati, Ohio in the United States from 1850 to 1926. In its day the Burnet hosted a multitude of dignitaries, including Abraham Lincoln (twice), Edward VII of the United Kingdom (when he was still Prince of Wales), and Jenny Lind. It has been claimed that Sherman and Grant planned the former's March to the Sea at Burnet House, but similar claims have made about Galt House in Louisville (debunked), and locations in Chattanooga, Nashville, and Washington, D.C.
The hotel was named for Jacob Burnet, a judge of the Ohio Supreme Court, who was an investor in the project and on whose land the hotel was constructed. The developer was Abraham Coleman, a Cincinnati civic booster, who raised $2.5 million from 170 investors. Isaiah Rogers, nationally acclaimed as a designer of elite hotels, was hired for $150,000. Cincinnati was the sixth-largest city in the country when Burnet House opened in 1850; the hotel became nationally acclaimed and was the state's premiere hotel well into the 1870s. Circa 1879 it had 240 guest rooms, as well as parlors, reading rooms, smoking rooms, billiard rooms, bath rooms, a bar and a restaurant. In later years a library at the hotel was home to "housed the library and portrait collection of the Loyal Legion, whose membership consisted of officers who served in the Union Army during the Civil War."
