Manse Hotel

The Manse Hotel is a historic place and former hotel in Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio which was important to the American civil rights movement. The hotel accommodated African American people (including many celebrities) and events (including local, state, and national civil rights groups meetings) during a time when African Americans were not allowed to stay in other Downtown hotels because of racial segregation.[1] It was listed in The Negro Motorist Green Book from the 1940s through the 1960s[2] and along with the Manse Hotel Annex has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 8, 2019.[3][4]
