The hotel was formerly known as the Anna Louise Inn which was built to accommodate women traveling to find work in Cinncinnati. Named after President Taft's daughter, the inn opened on Memorial Day in 1909. As demand grew a second addition to the inn was completed in 1920 known as The Earls building. Starting in the 1950s the buildings surrounding the Lytle Park were repurposed with the hotel being the final installation. The hotel combined the original Earls building and inn to open its' doors in 2020. In doing so, extensive efforts to recognize and celebrate the history of the area were made. Keep an eye out for these original features:

- The original doors were restored in the former Anna Louise Inn and the Earls Building.

- The original roofline was restored with new slate and copper for the Earls Building.

- The brick, limestone and sandstone were restored for both buildings.

- The original metal/wood box gutter cornice on the former Anna Louise Inn was duplicated and added to create a second band at the roofline.

- The exterior wrought iron railings were refurbished and repurposed as planters and new handrails on the interior of the former Anna Louise Inn.

- Limestone features were incorporated into the rooftop, kitchen, restaurant and exterior patio.

- Six fireplaces were added while maintaining the original three ornate chimneys now dormant on the Earls Building.

- New cobblestone paver style driveway and granite style curbs were used in keeping with the original 1900s style of construction.

- An original Rookwood water fountain off the lobby of the hotel was refurbished and framed with new Rookwood Tile.

- Rookwood tile was used as the back bar tile on the Vista at Lytle Park rooftop.

- Paid homage to the past presidents of the United States by designing a hand rail that duplicates the railing on the Truman Balcony of The White House. This hand rail ascends from the lobby to the second floor in the hotel.


Lastly, keep an eye out for Anna Louise, Taft's daughter for whom the hotel was made. Artwork all around the hotel including in the rooms features her!
