The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland
(5 stars)The Ritz-Carlton’s classic European elegance is re-imagined for Cleveland in a palette of soft blues and greys. Its TURN Bar + Kitchen pays homage to the city’s industrial heritage within the steel industry and serves refined dishes crafted from local ingredients. And the bar is the place for theatrical molecular cocktails beside the fire. Those staying in Club Level Suites also enjoy access to the Club Lounge on the 14th floor, from which the views are phenomenal and snacks/drinks are complimentary. Plus you’ll benefit from a dedicated concierge.

Metropolitan at The 9, Autograph Collection
(5 stars)With a former life as a bank, this century-old building is somewhat of a city landmark – what was once the vaults is now a fancy cocktail lounge. There’s also an award-winning Italian restaurant, Centro (don’t miss the handmade pasta and 900-year-old sourdough brick oven pizzas), The Garden of Eden Rooftop Lounge, the family-run Heinen’s Market to grab any grocery necessities or treats (look up to get a glimpse of the venue’s Tiffany stained-glass rotunda) and the Ledger Bar for beers and bites. Bring your pooch along for the stay too – Metropolitan at The 9 has an indoor dog park.
