What did the recent renovation entail?

The historic property, which originally opened its doors to guests in 1918, recently underwent an extensive $90 million renovation [1]. The revitalized hotel reopened to the public in 2024 [2]. According to Hotel Dive, the project revamped the building's interiors, the main lobby, and various amenity spaces [1]. The design approach preserves the property's historic features while introducing a complete transformation with sophisticated interiors [2]. The spaces were designed to celebrate Cleveland's rich history, culture, and communal spirit, reflecting its industrial strength and community warmth [2]. The hotel offers nearly 500 guest rooms alongside 65,000 square feet of meeting and events space [1].

How does this expand Coury Hospitality's portfolio?

The addition of the Ohio property fortifies the Dallas-based lifestyle hospitality management company's United States portfolio [1]. Hotel Cleveland represents the 13th Autograph Collection property managed by Coury Hospitality [1]. With this addition, Coury Hospitality strengthens its position as the largest and most experienced U.S. operator of Marriott’s premium independent hotel collection, as reported by Hotel Dive [1]. The hotel is the second-largest Autograph Collection property in the country [2]. Coury Hospitality, the lifestyle management division of Coury Holdings, specializes in managing both branded and independent hotels [1].

What are the new food and beverage concepts?

At the center of the revitalized Hotel Cleveland are two new dining outlets, which align with Coury Hospitality's specialization in managing properties with strong food and beverage programs [1]. Maker serves as the epicenter of the hotel's social scene, offering artisanal cocktails and locally inspired comfort food that echoes the city's distinct culinary personality [2]. Mowrey's functions as an American-style breakfast restaurant [1]. HospitalityNet notes that Mowrey's offers early-nineteenth-century American-style breakfast with local flair, paying tribute to Phineas Mowrey, who pioneered Cleveland’s tavern culture in 1815 [2].

Where is Coury Hospitality expanding next?

Beyond the Hotel Cleveland transition, Coury Hospitality continues to expand its footprint within the Autograph Collection brand [2]. The management company currently has four additional Autograph Collection hotels in development [2]. This growth includes the expansion of its proprietary Vin Hotel Collection [2]. HospitalityNet reported that the flagship property, Hotel Vin in Grapevine, Texas, is currently under construction [2]. The Texas property is set to double in size when it reopens next year [2]. Furthermore, the company will debut Hotel Vin Rogers in Rogers, Arkansas, this fall [2].
