New 21c Museum Hotel in Cincinnati Announced
2009 NOV 12 - Deborah Berke & Partners Architects, who served as design architect for the original 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, will repeat the role at the new 21c Museum Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio. The renovation will restore the 97-year-old former Metropole Hotel, recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Building on 21c Museum Hotel’s mission of engaging the public with contemporary art, the hotel will feature a contemporary art museum with more than 8,000 square feet of exhibition space. In addition, the facility will contain 160 guest rooms, a restaurant and bar, and meeting spaces.

The firm will collaborate with Pittsburgh-based Perfido Weiskopf Wagstaff + Goettel as executive architect, noted for its experience in historic preservation projects.
