21c Cincinnati was a comprehensive adaptive re-use in collaboration with renowned design architect Deborah Berke Partners. The program is an innovative hybrid of a vibrant contemporary art museum and a 156-room boutique hotel that is at the hub of a growing arts and entertainment district and has contributed to the revitalization of Cincinnati’s downtown. A masterful orchestration of century-old historic details and clean modern design characterizes this project. The building was redeveloped from a property that originally hosted a hotel built in 1912. Visitors to 21c Cincinnati can now enjoy a signature restaurant and 8,000 sf of gallery, meeting, and event space dedicated to exhibiting art of the 21st century including site-specific multimedia installations. The exhibits are open to the public free of charge, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
