Patrons have been introduced to more spacious rooms with state-of-the-art amenities.

The new, completed rooms have custom designed solid oak furniture, all fabrics are luxury linen, Tempurpedic beds, the bathrooms are fitted with large rain-shower heads and fogless mirrors, and there are glass-front refrigerators. The rooms are equipped with sound-minimizing materials. The drywall installed in the Inn has a strip of sound resistant fiberglass in the middle. Each room is also fitted with sound resistant windows and concrete sound abatement flooring. The result: a quieter stay at the Inn.

Throughout the halls and rooms, every pipe, wire and fixture has been removed and replaced with more modern equipment.

When completed, the rooms on the Wooster-side wing of the Inn will possess the same amenities.

"We are planning on implementing new packages to attract 'staycationers', which are people looking for one to two day get-aways," Spinnenweber said. “Most hotels do not possess half of the amenities that we have installed.”

Stepping outside the Inn, the most visible difference that people may have noticed is an upgraded parking lot at the rear of the building. The lot will be used as exclusive guest parking, where a covered rear entranceway will allow guests to enter the Inn without having to walk around to the front entrance. The rear entrance will immediately lead guests into one of the Inn’s new additions: a new lobby with fireplace.

The new lobby and main lobby are connected by one of the more intricate additions to the inn, a new inconspicuous hallway which was carved through the existing structure of the Inn. The hallway gives access to a service elevator, a new luggage room, a business center and an all-new fitness room.

“The new first floor hallway is the most dramatic change. Everything has been redesigned to mimic the main lobby,” Spinnenweber said. The owner is also looking for Mariemont memorabilia to display in the historical hall.

The Best Western Mariemont Inn is a registered national landmark and is considered one of the finest hotels in America. A cornerstone building since Mariemont’s inception in the 1920’s, the Inn has always been integral to the village’s history and maintaining the integrity and character that has made the village so charming to this day. For the past several months renovations to the interior of the Inn have been ongoing and the progress will indelibly make new history.
