Hilton Cleveland Downtown- Cleveland, OH

I admit, it is very out of character for me to stay at a Hilton, unless it is one of their historic properties, or part of their Curio Collection. That said, a lake front hotel has its appeal, especially one with a roof top lounge. 

Built in 2016, it is Cleveland’s newest hotel, as well as its tallest and largest, boasting 600 rooms. It has several restaurants and bars, a living wall in the lobby, and views of Lake Erie, the Rock Hall of Fame, and the Brown’s stadium, as well as some very industrial areas. Made largely of glass, it is interesting enough, but the rooms are fairly generic. Fun enough for an overnight, the real star here is the rooftop.
