CLEVELAND, OH
Optima Ventures and Sage Hospitality have announced that they’re partnering to purchase the Crowne Plaza Cleveland City Centre hotel in downtown Cleveland, and have plans to convert the property into an upscale 481-room Westin.
The Cleveland International Fund has dedicated $36 million to help fund renovations at the property. The hotel will close in mid-November to receive more than $64 million in upgrades, including the complete remodel of all guest rooms, more than 25,000 square feet of meeting space and all public spaces. Other improvements include the installation of energy-efficient windows, a new roof and extensive exterior overhauls.
The new Westin Cleveland will also show off a grand two-story staircase, a signature Sage Restaurant Group concept with outdoor dining space, a business center, fitness center and spa.
