THE EMPIRE HOTEL

Originally constructed in 1874 in Downtown Tiffin, Gibbon Architecture is renovating this historic gem back to its original glory as a boutique hotel, using awarded historic tax credits.

Modern upgrades & creative additions will add new life to the structure. At street level, an urbane lobby replete with grand stair gives way to a sky-lit lounge & bar. Additional amenities include meeting rooms, a fitness center, coffee & gift shops. Gibbon Architecture restructured the roof to give Penthouse rooms private terraces, while ensuring enclosed fire egress at the rear of the property & meeting historic design guidelines.

In order to meet acoustic requirements for hotel suites, Gibbon Architecture added sound transmission remediation layers below reinstalled existing wood floors to preserve the delicate tin ceilings and mouldings below.
