Adventurous Journeys (AJ) Capital Partners announced today that it has acquired the Kingsgate Marriott in Cincinnati, Ohio. The hotel will run independent of any affiliation through February 2020. A comprehensive renovation will begin in November to convert the hotel to Graduate Cincinnati, part of the Graduate Hotels® collection. The 206-room hotel is ideally positioned on the University of Cincinnati campus.

Prominently situated on Goodman Drive, the hotel is just steps from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and adjacent to the University's main campus and Nippert Stadium. The hotel is also in close proximity to downtown Cincinnati, Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Zoo and other local attractions.

Created for travelers who seek memory-making journeys, Graduate Hotels is a thoughtfully crafted collection of hotels that reside in the most dynamic university-anchored cities across the country. Each property celebrates and commemorates the optimistic energy of its community, while offering an extended retreat to places that often play host to the best days of our lives. There are currently 13 open and operating hotels across the U.S. and an additional 14 hotels under development slated to open by the end of 2020.

The hotel will undergo a comprehensive renovation to convert it to Graduate Cincinnati, which will touch all guestrooms and guest baths, common areas, the lobby-level restaurant and bar and the hotel's 21,500 square feet of flexible meeting and events space.
