Cindy Sherman, director of sales for the Kent State Hotel, says the hotel’s Zenas Restaurant offers a sophisticated yet relaxed environment for patrons, and the 1910 Lounge offers a cozy atmosphere and a stylish bar.
“The 1910 Lounge is open daily and offers classic cocktails, such as Manhattans, whiskey sours, specialty beer on tap, and is a great location to unwind,” Sherman says. “Zenas is a full-service restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and offers a fresh, contemporary take on international cuisine. The menu has everything from pizza and pasta to rack of lamb and steak. We invite Kent State employees to come try our restaurant and lounge.”
The Kent State Hotel is located at 215 S. Depeyster Street in downtown Kent.
