Historic Mansion Accommodations
The Glidden House features 52 traditional guest rooms and 8 mansion suites in a converted 1910 French Gothic mansion. Rooms include one king bed or two double beds with 50-inch HDTVs, free Wi-Fi, coffee makers, and private baths. Mansion suites offer heated bathroom floors, separate living areas, and kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves.
Complimentary Breakfast & Lounge
Daily complimentary breakfast is served in the original loggia, library, and parlor with hot and cold options. Palette Lounge opens Tuesday through Saturday at 4 PM in the historic lobby area, serving signature drinks. The hotel partners with L'Albatros French brasserie and other University Circle eateries for additional dining options.
University Circle Location
Situated on Case Western Reserve University grounds in Cleveland's University Circle, the hotel is within walking distance of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Botanical Garden, Severance Hall, and Historic Little Italy. The area contains museums, universities, hospitals, and diverse restaurants along Euclid Avenue.
Event Spaces & Services
The property offers the 2,600-square-foot Juniper Room for events up to 150 guests, outdoor gazebo ceremonies, and smaller meeting spaces. Event staff assists with planning and execution. 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.”
