ROOST Cleveland
ROOST Apartment Hotel, the extended-stay concept from Method Co., has opened ROOST Cleveland at the May Company building on historic Euclid Ave. in downtown. The opening marks the first location outside of Philadelphia for the ROOST brand and the first high-design extended-stay hotel concept for the city of Cleveland, according to the company.
The newest ROOST offers 62 loft-like apartments within three floors of the May Company building, an adaptive restoration of the iconic department store built by architect Daniel Burnham.
Designed and curated by Morris Adjmi Architects and Method Studios, Method Co.’s in-house design firm, all of the ROOST Cleveland apartments offer contemporary furnishings such as vintage Oushak rugs, functional custom workspaces, artwork from Lumas, coffee tables by Danish design house Gubi and modern light fixtures by Original BTC. Amenities include the brand’s signature in-room artisanal coffee program with La Colombe, a high-end cocktail kit and signature bike share program, as well as a three-story open-air atrium, rooftop terrace with gas grills and city views, a fitness center, private yoga studio and a makerspace.
Acquired by Bedrock in 2017, the May Company building has anchored Cleveland’s Public Square for more than 100 years, when the department store opened in its namesake building in 1915 and where it operated until 1993. It remained primarily vacant until Bedrock commenced an extensive transformation of the property, seeking to restore its most definitive features such as the iconic pediment clock and terra cotta facade.
