Toledo's Hotel Seagate to be Demolished

Park Inn Hotel rehab planned

In a major shift in development plans for downtown Toledo, the crumbling skeleton of the 19-story Hotel Seagate on Summit Street that was to be renovated this year now will be torn down, and the nearby Park Inn Hotel will be renovated starting later this year with completion sometime in early 2022.

The $64.5 million Park Inn project will be funded through a newly-formed public-private partnership led by the Lucas County commissioners, who also will go forward with earlier plans to add a ballroom to the adjoining SeaGate Convention Centre and move the center’s parking garage entrance from Summit Street to Monroe Street.

The change in plans will save Lucas County nearly $30 million, but delays mean that the convention center and a newly-renovated hotel will not be ready for the Solheim Cup that, as of now, is set to be held in Toledo at the Inverness Country Club in August, 2021.
