Cincinnati’s Fidelity Hotel Joins Curator Hotel & Resort Collection
“We are thrilled to welcome Cincinnati’s Fidelity Hotel to Curator,” said Jennifer Barnwell, President of Curator Hotel & Resort Collection. “Since our initial interaction with New Waterloo, it was clear this team was building something special. Joining Curator before opening allows us to support their vision at the outset. It also reflects the confidence they have in Curator’s ability to help independent hotels strengthen performance while preserving what makes them distinctive.”
Curator supports independent and boutique hotels by offering access to a robust network of best-in-class master service agreements across operations, technology, products and services. Curator now offers nearly 100 proprietary vendor agreements spanning the entire tech stack, credit card processing, purchasing, distribution channels, reservation call centers, garage operators, audio visual partnerships and capex items—each carefully selected for its fit in the independent space and ability to deliver performance. Through Curator, member hotels gain access to preferred commercial terms, curated operating solutions, and resources designed to help enhance profitability and support long-term success. Access to these programs further positions Cincinnati’s Fidelity Hotel for success ahead of welcoming its first guests.
Set within the iconic Gwynne Building, the hotel features thoughtfully designed accommodations ranging from heritage-inspired guestrooms to expansive suites with sweeping city views. Each stay is designed to feel both intimate and refined with curated amenities that reflect the spirit and culture of the city. With a strong focus on a sense of place, Cincinnati’s Fidelity Hotel invites guests to relax, connect, and fully experience Cincinnati.
“As the Queen City’s newest lifestyle hotel, Cincinnati’s Fidelity Hotel is designed to be more than a place to stay—it’s a destination where the city’s history, culture, and community converge,” said Michael Dunbar, General Manager. “From thoughtfully curated design to locally inspired experiences, our goal is to create a space where guests and residents can connect, celebrate, and discover Cincinnati in a meaningful, memorable way.”
The hotel is set to begin accepting reservations this month. For more information about Curator Hotel & Resort Collection, please visit curatorhotelsandresorts.com
