Designed by Joseph G. Steinkamp & Brother, the Neoclassical-styled[2] Hotel Metropole opened in 1912 in downtown Cincinnati as a 10-story hotel. In 1924 an 11th floor penthouse apartment was added. In 1971 the building was converted to low-income housing with retail and restaurants on the first floor.[3]
In June of 2009 the building was added to the NHRP and later that year it was announced that it would be converted into a 21c Museum Hotel[3] with "160 guest rooms, a contemporary art museum with more than 8,000 square feet of exhibition space, a restaurant, and meeting space."[2]
