Cincinnati, OH – July 7, 2021 – The historic Ingalls Building, originally built in 1903 as the world’s first reinforced concrete skyscraper and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, is taking on a new life as the first Courtyard by Marriott hotel in downtown Cincinnati. Located at 6 East 4th Avenue, the 16-story property is owned and managed by SREE Hotels, LLC of Charlotte, North Carolina.

“We are extremely excited to open the Courtyard by Marriott Cincinnati Downtown, located in the historic Ingalls Building,” says Kevin Famiglietta, Executive Vice President, Operations and Sales, SREE Hotels, LLC. “This is SREE’s fourth hotel in Downtown Cincinnati, all historic renovations partnered with HGC Construction, and the sixth Courtyard hotel in our portfolio. We are proud of the original elements that were restored during renovation and cannot wait to show off features like the ornate ceiling details in the lobby, the fitness room in the mezzanine’s bank vault, and the curved grand staircase leading to The Bistro. Cincinnati is a great city with an amazing culture and respect for its past. We are thrilled that we get to continue to be part of Cincinnati’s story.”
