MEMORABLE CHARM
Explore the charm of Mariemont from Cincinnati's premier historic hotel.
The Village of Mariemont was one of the nation’s first planned communities and was built around the Mariemont Inn, now one of Cincinnati’s most distinguished historic hotels. The rich history and unique character is evident in the distinct tudor architecture, tree lined streets, and a walkable downtown historic district. The Village of Mariemont earned the distinction of National Historic Landmark in 2007, and National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The Ohio Magazine voted Mariemont as “The Best Hometowns in Ohio” while Great Places in America voted it one of the “Most Livable Communities”. The original vision of Mary Emery for a beautiful village for work and play is still alive today.
DEDICATED DETAILS
Maintaining Mary Emery's vision.
The Village of Mariemont is the work of Mary Emery who donated the land that would be the Village. Mariemont, pronounced “Mary-mont”, was named for Mary Emery’s summer home in Rhode Island, which was named for a town in England, thus the English pronunciation. She was inspired after seeing the living conditions of those living in the inner city and wanted to design a space that was better suited for its citizens to provide a higher quality of life. The Village was to illustrate the best architectural, engineering, and environmental results possible for this type of development. In 1921, she hired an internationally known town planner, John Nolen, who meticulously designed every detail of Mariemont, including the Mariemont Inn, Cincinnati’s historic, luxury hotel, to deliver ease, convenience, and community to working class people. John Nolen, along with 25 of the nations’ best architects, worked to organize the Village and in 1925, the vision was brought to life.
