Hotel Celare, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott property, is set to open in January in Cincinnati's District at Clifton Heights. Located across from the University of Cincinnati and a short drive from downtown, the seven-story, 171-room property will have an onsite restaurant and bar, a fitness center, a locally curated market and event spaces with outdoor terraces.
The project is a collaboration between long-time partners Crawford Hoying and Shaner Hotel Group. Crawford Hoying is the owner and developer in partnership with Shaner Hotel Group as the operator. This serves as the first Cincinnati development project owned and operated by both parties, respectively.
“We are thrilled to introduce Hotel Celare to The District at Clifton Heights, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter for this vibrant community,” Cincinnati native Brent Crawford, principal and founder of Crawford Hoying, said in a statement.
Design
Architecture was overseen by Meyers+Associates. The property has large windows and outdoor terraces. The exterior, which will have a 22'-by-37’4” mural by Miss Birdy, a Ohio-based muralist and gallery artist showcases the Lazarus Lizard.
Interiors are designed by Texas-based design firm, Studio 11 Design incorporating bright colors, plush furnishings and patterns that echo the energy of the area.
All guestrooms have a minifridge, a Nespresso Coffee machine and a workstation. Bathrooms have rain showers.
“Collaborating with Crawford Hoying on Hotel Celare has been a wonderful experience and journey on this continued partnership,” said Plato Ghinos, president of Shaner Hotels. “Having worked with Crawford Hoying in the past, we knew that with their expertise and deep connections in curating the best team in architecture and design, we’d have the top development to visit in Cincinnati.”
