The cup stamped 1924 also has the Hotel Sinton logo on the side.
The Hotel Sinton Cincinnati opened in 1907 and was considered not only to be “Cincinnati’s finest hotel” but one of the finest in the world. The hotel could accommodate twelve hundred guests and every room had a private bath and a “servidor"--a cabinet that opened to both the room and the corridor to allow secure and private deliveries to the room.
The hotel served many distinguished and prominent guests from around the world, some who stayed for extended periods of time, including, four U.S. Presidents--Coolidge, Harding, Wilson and Taft, as well as Al Jolson, Prince of Wales, Count Tolstoy, and King Albert of Belgium.
