Coury Hospitality has been appointed by Skyline Investments to manage Hotel Cleveland, Autograph Collection, the landmark historic hotel in downtown Cleveland. This management acquisition marks the 13th Autograph Collection property in Coury Hospitality’s portfolio.
Originally opened in 1918, Hotel Cleveland is the second largest Autograph Collection hotel in the country, with 491 guestrooms, two dining outlets and 65,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space. For more than a century, the property has stood as a cultural landmark in the city, and its extensive heritage is intertwined with the fabric of Cleveland, with every space is designed to celebrate the city’s history, culture and communal spirit.
Following an extensive $90 million renovation, the revitalized hotel reopened in 2024 with a complete transformation featuring a new grand lobby, while preserving its historic features.
“We were impressed by Coury Hospitality’s acumen in innovative food and beverage programming and their expertise in managing experiential lifestyle hotels, particularly within the Autograph Collection,” said Neha Kapelus, CEO, Skyline Investments. “With a shared vision for creating a vibrant, community-based atmosphere, we’re confident this partnership will continue the strong momentum behind the reimagined Hotel Cleveland.”
Andrew Casperson, president, Coury Hospitality, said, “At Coury Hospitality, we specialize in creating lifestyle hotels that become destinations within their communities, which makes Hotel Cleveland a natural addition to our Autograph Collection portfolio. We’re looking forward to partnering with Skyline Investments to build on Hotel Cleveland’s legacy through dynamic culinary programming and memorable guest experiences. At a property that is already such an important part of Cleveland’s history and culture, we’re excited to further elevate its role as a gathering place for both visitors and locals.”
As the leading operator of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, Coury Hospitality continues to expand its footprint within the brand, with four additional Autograph Collection hotels currently in development. This includes the continued expansion of its proprietary Vin Hotel Collection, including the renovation of its flagship property, Hotel Vin in Grapevine, TX, which is currently under construction and set to double in size when it reopens next year, as well as the debut of Hotel Vin Rogers in Rogers, AK, this fall.
