Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
High Street's galleries and independent boutiques sit right outside the door, and the Pizzuti Collection is a short stroll away.

Solid wood furniture from Ohio Amish woodworkers fills each bedroom, and selected walls display original art by local makers.
The spa
Two private spa suites have heated mosaic stone chaises and rain showers fitted with eight body sprayers.
Bar
Soul at The Joseph
The lobby counter pours espresso by morning, then transitions into an evening lounge serving local draft beer beneath neon art.
Restaurant
The Guild House
Cameron Mitchell’s restaurant serves seasonal American dishes beside a glass wine room, beneath rustic timber ceiling beams.

High-top tables and curved wooden stools sit beside a tall glass wine display in the lobby.
How it began
Developer Ron Pizzuti named the hotel after his father Joseph, an Italian immigrant who worked Ohio factory shifts by day.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
