Every guest room will be designed in a style inspired by the local area, featuring decorations from local artists that enhance the space. Hyatt Centric Cincinnati will reflect the spirit of the Cincinnati community, helping guests connect with their surroundings and enriching their overall experience and identity in the area.

"Birkla Investment Group is excited to continue the great history of the AT580 building with the development of the Hyatt Centric Hotel,” said Tony Birkla, owner of Birkla Investment Group.

“As part of this iconic project, AT580, a premier residential mixed-use facility, will be transformed to include hotel rooms and upscale restaurants, marking a first for Cincinnati. This development blends the building’s rich history with modern luxury, offering a dynamic space that caters to both residents and visitors, making it a vibrant cornerstone of downtown Cincinnati."
