21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati is the newest white hot location in the Tri-State. So hot, in fact, they were named to the Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious Hot List!

That must mean Cincy Chic is pretty hot, too, because we selected this location for our May 3 Night in White event (click here to RSVP!) and we are featuring their new spa in this week’s issue (click here to read about Cincinnati’s first hotel spa!!).

Steve Wilson, co-founder and CEO of 21c Museum Hotels, announced that the 8,000 square foot contemporary art museum, 156-room boutique hotel and Metropole restaurant is one of 154 properties from around the world made the list of Best New Hotels of 2013.

21c Museum Hotel was one of only 16 in the United States to make the list. The Hot List is published in the May 2013 issue of Condé Nast Traveler.

The hotel was designed by architect Deborah Berke who was also recognized as an industry tastemaker in the issue. Berke created the historic and contemporary space all while respecting the character of the once grand hotel. The hotel is also a space to show off the work of living artists.

Berke teamed up with executive architect Alan Weiskpf of Perfido Weiskopf Wagstaff + Goettel, a firm known for its historic preservation projects.

There are also 21c Museum Hotels in Louisville which opened in 2006 and Bentonville, Arkansas, which opened in February of this year.
