Cincinnati, Ohio

Under construction, opening late 2012

Located adjacent to the Lois and Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art and across the street from the Aronoff Center for the Arts, 21c Cincinnati will foster the ongoing revival of the Queen City and strengthen its role as a cultural destination. 21c Museum Hotels is working with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) on the restoration, which will feature 160 rooms, a contemporary art museum with more than 8,000 square feet of exhibition space open to the public free of charge, a Proof restaurant and bar, and meeting spaces. Deborah Berke & Partners Architects, the firm that designed the 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, will serve as design architect to restore the Metropole building, recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, following federal standards for historic rehabilitation.
