Crescent Hotels & Resorts is set to manage the Hotel Cleveland, Autograph Collection, a historic property in downtown Cleveland. The former Renaissance Cleveland Hotel underwent a multiyear, $80 million renovation and reopened in April under its original name. The property will be part of the Latitudes: Lifestyles by Crescent collection.
Part of Marriott's Autograph Collection of independent hotels, the revitalized property has a new lobby bar and restaurant along with 60,000 square feet of meeting space. The property, which dates back to 1918, created an interactive historical experience through NFC code medallion technology. Through the technology, guests can engage with and learn about the property's significant moments.
Each of the 491 updated guestrooms has wall murals depicting historic maps and scenes from the city's history. The tableside lamps, inspired by historic sewing machines, pay homage to the city’s former garment district. Suites have separate living areas as well as views of Lake Erie.
The new hotel lobby bar and restaurant, Maker, has a supper-club atmosphere. Mowrey's, which serves breakfast and brunch, pays homage to Phineas Mowrey, who pioneered tavern culture in Cleveland in 1815.
