The area contains museums, universities, hospitals, and diverse restaurants along Euclid Avenue.

Services include concierge recommendations, bell service, free printing in the business center, and increased cleaning frequency for high-touch surfaces.
Accessibility & Art Collection
The hotel provides accessibility features for guests with hearing or vision impairments and offers accessible room options. The property displays local and contemporary art throughout, including a GuitarMania project piece created by Cleveland artists. Free parking is available on premises.
“The Glidden House, a step away from Cleveland's cultural heart in University Circle, distinguishes itself with personalized attention. I noted the building's history as the Glidden family mansion, providing an experience of refined elegance, a welcome divergence from typical modern hotels. The carefully maintained grounds and on-site Palette Lounge encourage a relaxed pace.”
