Cincinnati Enquirer Building

The Cincinnati Enquirer Building is a fourteen-story limestone structure on Vine Street featuring bronze ornaments and marble surfaces throughout. The recessed central entrance on the ground floor creates a distinctive architectural feature of the facade.

The structure was completed in 1926 by Lockwood Greene and Company and housed the Cincinnati Enquirer newsroom beginning in 1866. The newspaper operated from this location for over a century before relocating in 1992.

The building appeared in the television series WKRP in Cincinnati under a fictional name, becoming part of local pop culture history. This TV connection shaped how many people in the region remember this downtown landmark.

The building now houses two hotel brands with a combined total of over 200 rooms, plus meeting spaces and fitness facilities. Access to the interior is generally available to hotel guests and those conducting business inside.

A brass sculpture titled The Naked Printer sits in the lobby alongside preserved metal cases that once displayed newspapers for passing pedestrians. These details honor the street-level newspaper distribution history that defined the building's early years.
