Sree Hotels Opens Courtyard by Marriott in Downtown Cincinnati
The historic Ingalls Building, originally built in 1903 as the world's first reinforced concrete skyscraper and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, is taking on a new life as the first Courtyard by Marriott hotel in downtown Cincinnati. Located at 6 East 4th Avenue, the 16-story property is owned and managed by SREE Hotels, LLC of Charlotte, North Carolina. General Manager Vernon Burchett leads the management team for SREE Hotels on this highly-anticipated opening.
Situated downtown and 14 miles from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, the Courtyard by Marriott Cincinnati Downtown offers guests convenient access to Fountain Square, Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals, as well as Great American Ballpark, home of the Cincinnati Reds. It's also convenient to Smale Riverfront Park, Duke Energy Convention Center, and numerous shopping, dining and entertainment options.
"We are extremely excited to open the Courtyard by Marriott Cincinnati Downtown, located in the historic Ingalls Building," says Kevin Famiglietta, Executive Vice President, Operations and Sales, SREE Hotels, LLC. "This is SREE's fourth hotel in Downtown Cincinnati, all historic renovations partnered with HGC Construction, and the sixth Courtyard hotel in our portfolio. We are proud of the original elements that were restored during renovation and cannot wait to show off features like the ornate ceiling details in the lobby, the fitness room in the mezzanine's bank vault, and the curved grand staircase leading to The Bistro. Cincinnati is a great city with an amazing culture and respect for its past. We are thrilled that we get to continue to be part of Cincinnati's story."
The Courtyard by Marriott Cincinnati Downtown features two levels of public space, where guests can enjoy an open and modern environment outside of their rooms. The Bistro is the epicenter of the public space with more flexible and informal seating options. As an ideal casual dining destination, the new Bistro offers guests a wide variety of fresh Classic American menu items with a contemporary twist. In the evening, the Bistro Bar also features an array of cocktails, beer and wine for guests to enjoy at the end of the day.
Each guest room offers views of downtown Cincinnati including six loft-style, bi-level suites featuring 20-foot ceilings and 15-foot windows. Signature furniture and architectural elements replace traditional art in the new guestroom. Each room also provides a light desk on wheels allowing guests to work from anywhere in the room, flat-screen television with premium channels, a mini-refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee maker and a contemporarily styled bathroom.
Additional amenities include a large well-equipped fitness center in the old bank vault, complimentary WiFi, guest laundry, a 24-hour Market and a business library.
