CLEVELAND—The 600-room Hilton Cleveland Downtown has opened. The convention-style property connects to the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland and is adjacent to the Global Center for Health Innovation.
The project is a collaboration between Cuyahoga County Council, Cleveland Building and Construction Trades Council and the City of Cleveland. Hilton Hotels & Resorts will operate the hotel.
“The opening of Hilton Cleveland Downtown signifies not only a historic occasion for the city of Cleveland but for Hilton Hotels & Resorts,” said Shawn McAteer, VP, global brand management, full service brands, Hilton Worldwide. “This is the first hotel for Hilton Worldwide’s flagship brand in Cleveland, opening as this city continues to transform into a must-visit destination.”
Architectural firm Cooper Carry designed the modern industrial structure with reflective glass to ensure unobstructed views and natural light-filled rooms and common spaces. The silver LEED-certified building incorporates sustainably-minded features such as smart thermometers and occupancy sensors.
Located on Lakeside Ave. in downtown Cleveland, the hotel overlooks Lake Erie and FirstEnergy Stadium.
