Can anyone recommend a couple of hotels in downtown Cleveland? I don't mind
splurging.

Best,

Cleveland. Valerie might know. Valerie.

You must be in the witness protection program to be going to Cleveland!

The Renaissance Cleveland Hotel in the Tower City Center is the grand old lady
of the downtown hotels. The name has changed through the years but this is the
current identity. It's connected to Tower City, which refers to the majestic
Terminal Tower.

Tower City is a mall built into the old train station. It kind of looks like a
fancy cathedral inside.

Get a room looking north toward Lake Erie.

Lake Erie is beautiful at sunset, especially when it's on fire!

Dowtown area:

Marriott (connected to the Key Bank tower on Public Square)
Renaissance and Ritz Carlton (both in the Terminal Tower "Tower City"
complex on Public Square)
Wyndam- about 12 short blocks east on Euclid Avenue ("Playhouse Square"
area)
Hyatt Regency- just off Public Square on Euclid Avenue; they've adapted
a gorgeous late-Victorian arcade shopping center as their grand lobby.
If you decice not to splurge quite so much there is a nice Residence
Inn by Marriott on Prospect, built into an old office building with
another internal arcade (its just a block south of the Hyatt)
The Ritz Carlton is probably the gem of the bunch, with rates to match.
You've picked a good time to come- only one these hotels even existed a
more than a few years ago.

I thought that only the river caught fire.

Thanks very much for those with advice. Most hotels were full. We picked the
Hyatt.

Cleveland's a great city, which is something a lot of folks who actually
travel there have figured out. That's why all the hotels are full.

Cleveland jokes were last big when Johnny Carson was on every night.

Having married someone from Cleveland (we live in Denver), I find
myself there about once a year. When I first started visiting in the
mid-80s, you could see hints as to why Cleveland got somewhat of a
negative reputation. It bore the scars of a lot of industrialization
and heavy manufacturing. But in the years since, I've noticed a
marked improvement in the downtown area and the metro areas in
general.

Cleveland has some great places to visit like the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and Museum, the Science Center, Tower City, the Zoo, Jacobs
Field, and the Flats.
