It is one of Covington’s most iconic structures and is seen by tens of thousands of people each day as they drive by it on Interstate 75, but for the past several years the Radisson Cincinnati Riverfront has appeared dated and uninspired.
Its new owners hope to change that with an ambitious, multi-million dollar renovation that is already underway.
Fayez Thayer, managing director of Canada’s Tasico Hospitality Group, spoke about this on Thursday.
“Everybody I talk to in Cincinnati, and that includes other hotel customers, vendors, the guys who just finished paving the parking lot, they all have the same sentiment,” Thayer said. “We have this building that has been part of our childhood, we go to it every now and then to carry it forward with our children, and it’s such a letdown all the time.
“So, we’re going to take a swing at it.”
