The Montgomery County Convention Facilities Authority and Concord Hospitality Enterprises Company are thrilled to announce that our new Dayton Convention Center headquarters hotel will join Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio collection.

This development will serve as a cornerstone of the evolving Dayton Convention District. Located at 5th and Jefferson Streets, the full-service property will feature 197 guest rooms, a 3-meal restaurant, flexible meeting space, and a direct connection to the convention center and parking garage.

“This $77 million transformative investment represents a major milestone for Dayton and our convention district,” says Pam Plageman, Executive Director/CEO of the MCCFA. “Partnering with Concord Hospitality and Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio brand ensures we are delivering a high-quality, unique hotel experience that will elevate our competitive position and drive significant economic impact for the region.”

Upon opening in late 2028, the project will generate approximately 90 permanent new jobs and more than 300 construction jobs, while expanding our ability to host major concurrent events and national gatherings.

Supporting Miami Valley Meals 🤝

Earlier this week, MCCFA team members Arno and Adrianna were tasked with prepping hundreds of eggs to assist with meal preparation at Miami Valley Meals.

We had an "egg-cellent" time supporting their mission—and cracking quite a few eggs along the way to help get the job done.

Thank you to the MVM team for the incredible work you do for our community.
