Where to Stay

Downtown Cleveland has become a prime area for development, business, and, of course, hotels. The downtown skyline has changed dramatically with the addition of skyscrapers touting big business, the largest of which is the Key Tower.

Downtown

At the foot of the Tower, just off Public Square, sits the chic Cleveland Marriott Downtown at Key Center. The Marriott is merely one of numerous upscale establishments within a short walk of Tower City Center, which is located atop Cleveland's main train terminal, a mere 15-minute train ride from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Other choices in the immediate vicinity include the luxurious Hyatt Regency Cleveland at The Arcade, Embassy Suites on 12th Street and the Hampton Inn Downtown.

Those in town for a ballgame or concert at Jacobs Field or Gund Arena will find the Radisson Hotel at Gateway convenient. The Renaissance Cleveland Hotel at Tower City Center is also near the arena, as is the Ritz-Carlton. Play-goers will find they can enjoy luxurious accommodations at the Wyndham Cleveland Hotel Playhouse Square. Those not wanting to venture far from the airport need not worry. As with any good international airport, Hopkins is surrounded by hotels, such as the Marriott Cleveland Airport.

Cleveland has a wealth of cozy bed-and breakfasts to choose from. Closer to downtown, folks can sleep and eat at the Brownstone Inn, Clifford House, the Edgewater Estates, the Emerald Necklace Inn and Stone Gables. Glendennis Bed and Breakfast is also a stunning historical landmark.

West Side

Sheraton Airport Hotel Cleveland and Radisson Inn Cleveland Airport are the top selections for plane-goers who might want a place to stay that leave them just a short shuttle ride from their early-morning hop out of town. Also look into the deluxe Marriott Cleveland Airport, notable for its lush golf course and on-site restaurants.

Outside the City

Out in the suburbs, along with the standard chains, are several above-average places to lodge. On the east side is Embassy Suites. Further south and a bit more west sits the Punderson Manor State Park Resort and Conference Center. People interested in the thrills, chills and spills of Six Flags World of Adventure amusement park or outlet shopping in Aurora can find a spot at the Six Flags Hotel of Ohio. Not far from there, for those wanting a much more relaxing, but every bit as exhilarating experience, is Mario's International Hotel and Spa.
