CLEVELAND
Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has announced its plans to enter the Cleveland, Ohio market with the management of a 161-room hotel. Housed in an historic, adaptive reuse downtown building, the hotel is slated to open in early 2013.
The boutique-style hotel will sit in the city’s landmark Schofield Building, which was built in 1902 and served as a prominent office building for more than 100 years. The new Kimpton will feature more than 7,400 square feet of meeting and event space, including a ballroom and outdoor roof terrace. It also will offer a chef-driven destination restaurant and--as part of a mixed-use development--there will be retail offerings on the building’s ground floor.
“For us, it’s especially exciting to see the demand for the boutique concept in general spreading to more mainstream cities in the Midwest and other areas of the country outside the urban centers of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco,” said Kimpton CEO Michael Depatie.
