Renovations started at Mariemont Inn
You may have taken notice to the construction taking place on the back end of the Mariemont Inn. The work being conducted commenced May 1 and is the beginning of the interior renovations that, when completed, will reposition the mid-market hotel to an upscale boutique property.
The Inn recently celebrated its 80th anniversary on April 13, 2006. The historic, English Tudor-style hotel was built in 1926 and was designed to house offices, retail and a private guesthouse for village founder Mary Emery’s guests.
“Now, 80 years later, the Inn is getting a new identity,” Director of Operations Bill Spinnenweber said.
The work, which is presently concentrated on the Madisonville Road wing of the Inn, will continue through summer and fall. When this wing is completed, work will start on the Wooster Pike wing. All the work is expected to be completed by summer 2007.
The result of the renovations, which will have included a complete gutting of the Inn’s interior, will be a significant upgrade in the size of the rooms and quality of service.The Inn presently has 60 rooms, but the renovations will drop that number to approximately 42 larger, more luxurious rooms that will include four-fixture bathrooms and modern-day technological upgrades such as wireless Internet access throughout the facility.
“Renovations will also extend to the first floor and include a historic gallery, business center, fitness center and rear entrance connected to the main lobby,” Spinnenweber said.
The hotel will remain open throughout the renovations and the National Exemplar and pub will remain open.
