CLEVELAND
Starwood Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to introduce the Westin brand to Cleveland, Ohio. The Westin Cleveland Convention Center will open in summer 2013 in a prime location, adjacent to the Cleveland Medical Mart and Convention Center complex. Owned by Sage Hospitality, the former Crowne Plaza will undergo a $64 million renovation prior to re-opening as a Westin. The Westin Cleveland Convention Center will offer 481 guest rooms, 26,000 square feet of meeting facilities and a full-service restaurant.
Overlooking Lake Erie, The Westin Cleveland Convention Center will open in the city’s financial district, close to the Cleveland Clinic and the offices of PNC Bank, Easton Corporation and Sherwin Williams. Guests will be right next door to the brand-new Cleveland Convention Center and Medical Mart complex scheduled to open in 2013.
The hotel also will offer convenient access to top attractions including Brown’s Stadium, Progressive Field, Playhouse Square, the Cleveland Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the shops and restaurants at the Galleria at Erieview. Hopkins International Airport (CLE) is just 12 miles away.
