The Most Romantic Hotels to Book in Cleveland, Ohio

Smoky metallic tones inspired by the steel industry give this city hotel a dark, mysterious edge. In TURN Bar + Kitchen, reflections from the firelight flicker off mirrors and glassware – while bedrooms with Italian marble bathrooms and views over Lake Erie set a romantic tone.

The Kimpton Schofield has it all figured out for you. Lay upon luxury linen and serenade your sweetheart with one of the complimentary guitars left in suites for guests to play. In the morning, head to the restaurant, Betts, for the Boozy Blue pancakes served with bourbon-soaked blueberries and Ohio maple syrup. Sweetness personified.

A city landmark built in 1918, the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel sits on Public Square. Rooms and suites come with traditional decor, marble countertops and organic Aveda products for a comfortable stay – and for those who fancy a flutter, it’s connected to Jack Casino. Try the Lobby Court bar for cocktails – or for a special occasion, the private dining room is a secluded spot – complete with views over the city – where the chefs can create a special personalized menu.

A few blocks from all the action of Downtown Cleveland, you’ll have plenty of options for date night. Hit the spa or Armando’s Barber Shop to scrub up for an evening out on the town – or simply snuggle next to the firepit in this romantic hotel’s outdoor pavilion with a bottle of red before crashing out on crisp linen and fluffy pillows.

The mock castle fronting on the Tudor Arms hotel could make one feel like a knight in shining armor – or perhaps more appropriately, a cavalier. Catch a performance by the Cleveland Orchestra at historic Severance Hall nearby and afterwards have some medieval fun by sneaking into the Crystal Ballroom back at the hotel for a dance.

The Metropolitan at the 9 has stylish rooms and suites, top-level wining and dining and even a dog park for your furry friends. By night, have the resident mixologists concoct a love potion in the cocktail lounge housed deep beneath you in an old bank vault and round it off the next morning with a specialty bloody mary in restaurant Adega – complete with chicken jerky and a buffalo spiced rim.

A boutique hotel in a converted mansion nestled within the leafy and culture-rich University Circle, a night at the Glidden House is one romantic stay indeed. With museums and galleries on your doorstep, this former grand family home exudes old-world charm. Take breakfast in the sunroom, enjoy an old fashioned from a leather armchair next to the marble fireplace and absorb the general feeling of warmth all around you.

Hotel Indigo may be right in the middle of the action with sports, theaters and restaurants on the doorstep – but the newly renovated guest rooms are a sleek and romantic escape with leather headboards and brushed gold hardware. The inner courtyard provides a quiet place to enjoy some couple time before heading out, or the cozy corner sofa in the King Deluxe rooms are the ideal place to curl up together.

Lovers of the stage will be spoilt for choice with this hotel nestled in the heart of Cleveland’s theater district. The King Chandelier Suite looks out over Playhouse Square and the largest outdoor chandelier in North America. The best news is you can enjoy a lazy lie-in after your thespian night out as standard check-out is at midday.

A stone’s throw from the shores of Lake Erie, and close to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, this conveniently located hotel puts you close to the popular sights. Afterward, share a milkshake at the hotel’s diner-style Stadium 3 Bar & Grille and sleep soundly on plush top beds with jumbo pillows.
