Cleveland Hotels

The Hyatt opened in 2001 in the Old Cleveland Arcade. The historic landmark in Downtown Cleveland was restored to its original grandeur after US$60 million and 18 months of renovation. The 293-room hotel offers elegance and convenience and appeals to discerning leisure and business travellers alike. The rooms are luxurious with vaulted ceilings and elegant décor.

If corporate chains aren’t your bag, then this converted 1910 gothic mansion offers you a boutique option at the top end of the market. Its 60 rooms are vibrantly decorated and come replete with the technological wonders of the day, including plasma TVs. Its location is great for the city’s cultural highlights.

Its spot on the top of the Tower City Center shopping mall is more romantic than it sounds, and the Ritz-Carlton is arguably the city’s most luxurious hotel. Midwest chic, if such a thing can be imagined, is the order of the day, with oversized desks, high-class toiletries and views over the city.

A good value hotel on Public Square, the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel is housed in an elegant 1918 building with vaulted ceilings and high-arched windows, and it offers some of the finest accommodations in the city. Its Mediterranean-style restaurant Sans Souci is excellent, and the hotel is conveniently connected to Tower City Center, which offers other good restaurants and a cinema in addition to upscale shopping.

The Hilton Garden Inn in Downtown Cleveland is a business hotel located near Jacobs Field and Playhouse Square. The hotel has 240 guest rooms (eight of which are two-room suites), and among its amenities are complimentary high-speed internet access and indoor pool with whirlpool and a fitness centre. The hotel also offers two 24-hour business centres.

It’s a budget hotel, but it’s as fresh as many above its station, and you can’t fault the location, which is within walking distance of many places you’re likely to want to visit. Rooms come with coffee makers and there’s even a small fitness room on site.

A budget, all-suite option that puts you in the centre of things. Each room comes with a full-size sofa bed if you want to cram a small group in, and also HD TVs and complimentary tea and coffee. Again, you can walk to most of the city’s main attractions.
