The '''Kenyon Inn''' opened on [[March 5]], [[1985]]. Located at 100 [[West Wiggin Street]], the inn boasts of 33 rooms and a restaurant. Alumni, led by [[Robert Tomsich]], funded and operated the inn during its first fourteen years. It was [[Robert Tomsich]] who initially proposed the project. It was constructed atop the site of the old [[Alumni House]]. The Kenyon Inn is very popular with students and visitors, and its rooms are usually booked years in advance for important events like [[Commencement]]. 

==Changes==
When it opened, the Inn was home to the [[Alcove on Campus]], a restaurant owned by Tom and Julie Metcalf. [[The Alcove]] suddenly gave up its lease in [[1993]], and dining area became known as the [[Kenyon Inn Restaurant]]. In [[1999]], the inn became college property when the transfer of ownership plan was approved at a [[Board of Trustees]] meeting. Soon after, the Kenyon Inn management group consulted with Kiefer Joan & Associates Design about renovations. In [[2002]], the rooms were outfitted with new carpets, sinks, and furniture, the color schemes were changed, and several rooms expanded. The renovations were completed in July. 

==Staff==
In August of [[2001]], Ernest B. Linger of North Carolina was appointed to the General Manager position. Executive Chef [[Maan Hand]] is a Kenyon graduate.
