Well House Could Be Open Before Year End

Step into the lobby of The Well House Hotel as the year winds down, and you'll be transported almost a century back in time to the grandeur of The Anthony Wayne Hotel. Led by the visionary developer Matt Olliges, Vision AWH LLC is just a stone's throw away from completing the transformation of this historic gem into the newest jewel of Hamilton.

Picture this: rooms once filled with memories of the past are now being reborn as luxurious suites. With meticulous attention to detail, drywall is being meticulously installed, while elegant blue subway-style tiles adorn the bathrooms, hinting at the timeless sophistication to come.

Excitement hums in the air as Olliges shares his vision. Every room, from the second to the seventh floor, will be a suite, offering unparalleled views of the city's rich history. And on the first floor, six more suites await, promising a stay that blends comfort with heritage.

But it's not just about the interior. The exterior, too, is undergoing a stunning revitalization, thanks in part to Ohio's historic tax credits. Challenges abound in adapting such historic buildings, but Olliges and his team tackle them head-on, ensuring every detail is perfect.

And let's talk about location. Situated in the heart of Hamilton, The Well House Hotel is poised to become a focal point of the community. With Cafeo Hospitality, the masterminds behind Billy Yanks, at the helm of the hotel's restaurant, culinary delights are on the horizon.

But perhaps what's most thrilling is the impact The Well House Hotel will have on the city. From partnerships with local artists to collaborations with neighboring institutions like the Fitton Center for Creative Arts, this is more than just a hotel—it's a catalyst for growth and community spirit.

As Ian Mackenzie-Thurley of the Fitton Center puts it, The Well House Hotel is "incredibly exciting" for Hamilton. It's a testament to the city's resilience and determination to preserve its history while embracing the future.

And the future looks bright. Across the street, another boutique hotel is set to open its doors, adding to the burgeoning renaissance of Hamilton's downtown.

For Dan Bates of the Greater Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, The Well House Hotel is more than just a building—it's a symbol of revitalization. From its storied past to its promising future, it embodies the spirit of Hamilton's journey towards greatness.

So, as the city prepares to welcome this new chapter in its history, one thing is clear: The Well House Hotel is not just a place to stay—it's a destination, a celebration of past, present, and future, and a testament to the enduring charm of Hamilton.
