Adjacent to Cleveland’s Tower City Center and close to the Cleveland Indians’ Progressive Field (formerly Jacobs Field), this elegant hotel offers downtown visitors a place to stay in style. The guest rooms, with city and water views, are luxuriously appointed, from the marble-clad bathrooms to the plush terry robes. Even pets are pampered here, with cookies upon check-in, a personalized water bowl and pet room-service menu. All-day dining at Muse features a seafood-heavy menu dotted with updated comfort food like truffled macaroni and cheese. By day, the Lobby Lounge serves afternoon tea, while in the evening live entertainment attracts hotel guests and locals alike.
