Book a Holiday Hotel in Cleveland

This holiday season, don’t make your mother-in-law sleep on the fold-out — that’s just awkward for everybody. Instead, consider sending her (or yourself) to a Cleveland hotel where they’ve done all the holiday decorating for you.

Glidden House

This always dramatically lit French Gothic eclectic-style mansion-turned-hotel in University Circle is walking distance to The Cleveland Art Museum, Cleveland Botanical Garden and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, all of which you can access in their Tour de Circle Package.

Hyatt Regency at the Old Arcade

Nicknamed Cleveland’s “Crystal Palace,” The Arcade was the first indoor shopping mall built in the United States, and boasts some of Cleveland’s most iconic architecture. The glass and brass always shine, but will be resplendent for the holidays with a massive Christmas tree under the dome roof, tons of lights and a Christmas window display. Inside the Old Arcade you’ll also find Marengo Luxury Spa where you can (hopefully) whisk away all that holiday drama.

Marriott Downtown at Key Center

Get into the holiday spirit at the Marriott at Key Center in Downtown with a host of holiday décor, the glow of outdoor holiday lights and a gingerbread house contest on display. Also, check out their “Across the Midwest” weekend rates package to get their lowest rates.

Metropolitan Hotel at The 9

This thoroughly modern hotel will treat you like a rock star — especially if you get their Cleveland Rocks Package, which includes tickets to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and breakfast in bed. The hotel, which is a gorgeously remodeled Marcel Breuer building, comes alive during the holidays with a bevy of holiday décor to match its upscale vibes.

Renaissance Cleveland Hotel

Featuring gingerbread villages, decadent trees, a courtyard lights display and New Year’s confetti, the red carpet of the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel lends itself to holiday decor. (Even if you’re not staying there, you’ve got to just walk through during the holidays.) There are AAA packages starting at $148 per night, along with couples’ getaway packages that include champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and breakfast starting at $229.

Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland

The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland has so many packages — a Reconnect Package with credits towards your stay; a Sports Fanatic Package with arena maps, and walkable indoor access to Cavs games; and a Treat You Package with Club Lounge Access — that you’ll have a hard time choosing your adventure. In addition, their holiday displays are unmatched and have historically included tree displays and a giant Cleveland-inspired gingerbread structure. Check out their holiday tea events — complete with scones.

Tudor Arms (Doubletree by Hilton)

Christmas trees, poinsettias and holly round out the homey Christmas displays in the stunningly historic Tudor Arms, while their family packages starts around $130 per night and their Cheers Package for two comes with sparkling wine and breakfast in bed.
