The name Oberlin carries deep meaning and inspiration for us. Rooted in a community founded after the Civil War by freedmen determined to build new lives through unity, hard work, and opportunity, Oberlin became a place defined by resilience and progress. Those same values of strength in community, pride in heritage, and a spirit of renewal, inspired us to name our hotel after this remarkable neighborhood. The Oberlin Hotel honors that legacy while celebrating the vibrant, forward-looking spirit that continues to define Oberlin today.
