Designed by Joseph G. Steinkamp & Brother, the Neoclassical-styled Hotel Metropole opened in 1912 in downtown Cincinnati as a 10-story hotel. In 1924 an 11th floor penthouse apartment was added. In 1971 the building was converted to low-income housing with retail and restaurants on the first floor.

In June 2009 the building was added to the NRHP and later that year it was announced that it would be converted into a 21c Museum Hotel with "156 guest rooms, a contemporary art museum with more than 8,000 square feet of exhibition space, a restaurant, and meeting space."
