The largest city on Lake Erie, Cleveland connects the Midwest to both sides of the US, and Canada to the north. But it’s a playground in its own right, with parks, a vibrant arts and culture scene, and musical history. Adventures in the Forest City should be followed with a healthy dose of relaxation – time to soak up these Cleveland hotels with in-room jacuzzis, whirlpool baths and hot tubs.

1. The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland, for lovely bubbles

Enjoy a glass of bubbly at the TURN Bar + Kitchen in the Ritz-Carlton, an all-day restaurant serving modern American fare and smoky cocktails. Alternatively, get your fill of bubbles in your room or suite’s sumptuous whirlpool tub. The smallest accommodations here run to a generous 626sqft (58sqm), while the Executive Suite measures 1,705sqft (158sqm) – basking in expansive luxury is mandatory at this four-star property.

2. Sheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel, for a post-flight soak

An airport hotel needn’t lack plush amenities. Unwind before or after a flight with a soak at Sheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel, the only hotel on the grounds of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Enjoy traveler perks including a complimentary 24-hour airport shuttle and a flight information board and boarding pass kiosk in the lobby, then try farm-to-table fare at Hemispheres, which serves international cuisine in a setting designed to reflect world travel.

3. Crowne Plaza Cleveland at Playhouse Square, an IHG Hotel, for a holiday highlight

Look for the giant GE Chandelier in downtown Cleveland’s Playhouse Square – the largest outdoor chandelier in North America – then head down the street to Crowne Plaza Cleveland. In the heart of the city’s theater district, this boutique-style hotel offers numerous ways to slow down, whether in your spacious guest room; in the property’s indoor heated pool, hot tub and sauna; or via indulgent eating at Ghost Light Restaurant & Lounge.

4. DoubleTree by Hilton Cleveland Downtown - Lakeside, for lakeside lingering

Take a brisk 10-minute walk from this DoubleTree to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, FirstEnergy Stadium, Great Lakes Science Center, or Huntington Convention Center. Or, get out your dowsing rod and follow it to Voinovich Bicentennial Park for artistic landscaping and views of Lake Erie. If it’s a warmer water experience you seek, retreat to your room’s tub before a restful night on your plush top bed.

5. Comfort Inn Downtown, for double the bubbles

Adjacent to Playhouse Square and just 10 minutes’ drive from Burke Lakefront Airport, the Comfort Inn Downtown Cleveland offers on-the-go travelers all they require — and then some. Grab-and-go breakfast, an on-site restaurant, free wifi, laundry facilities, in-room HBO access and a fitness center add to the experience, but the cherry on top is that select rooms feature two-person hot tubs.

6. Wyndham Cleveland Airport, for comfort and cocktails

Offering a free shuttle to and from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, just 3mi (4.8km) away, Wyndham Cleveland Airport is a choice option for jetsetters seeking quick access to their flight without being on airport grounds.

Renaissance Cleveland Hotel helps guests savor a stay right off Public Square, a large landscaped plaza with a splash pad, seasonal skating rink and food trucks. The property’s Club Level rooms offer access to the handsome Club Lounge, where you can catch up on business or relax in a quiet setting. We like the one-bedroom Larger Suite, which offers 1,100sqft (102sqm) of space and a two-person whirlpool bath.

8. Holiday Inn Express Cleveland Downtown, an IHG Hotel, for extra legroom
