We are excited to announce Hotel Celare in Cincinnati Midtown, Ohio, is officially open!
The exceptional 171-room property has officially become Shaner’s inaugural Marriott Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Situated in the heart of the University of Cincinnati and only a few miles from the vibrant downtown, our hotel is ideally located near prominent landmarks such as the William Howard Taft Historic Site, Harriet Becher Stowe House, the home of the Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds, and FC Cincinnati. Whether attending a Major League sporting event, visiting the historic Findlay Market—renowned for its vendors offering fresh produce, meats, and seasonal fare—or enjoying a dining experience in the Over-the-Rhine district, where locals love to dine, and lastly where Play-Doh was invented. Hotel Celare is the perfect choice for your stay.
This remarkable milestone would not have been possible without the dedication of our exceptional team and leadership.
We would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to Kollin Hanes, our General Manager, and Tracy Hartman, our Director of Sales, Rezzan Bingol our Director of Operations for their outstanding efforts and unwavering commitment to excellence.
We are also pleased to welcome the following leaders to the Shaner family: Justin Winkler, Rashid Hattar, Gregory Innocent, Alex Harrison, Christie Bartkowiak, Chester Fausnaugh, David Coyle, Jennifer Martz, Jamie Skinner and Dylan Shonkwiler, whose contributions have already made a significant impact.
Our heartfelt thanks go to our Task Force Team—Dayssi Haught, Brittany Pinter, Jose Reyes Rojas, the Housekeeping Team from Dayton AC, and Columbus Moxy—whose exceptional efforts have raised the standards of service and hospitality.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the Corporate Team for ensuring the seamless execution of this hotel opening.
Lastly, it is a privilege to acknowledge Ian Legros, our Area General Manager, whose leadership, and support in opening hotels has been invaluable. His dedication to building a positive and collaborative culture is deeply appreciated.
With Kollin and his team at the helm, Hotel Celare is poised to become a leader within the Tribute Portfolio, and we look forward to the continued success of this remarkable property.
