The Kimpton Schofield has it all figured out for you. Lay upon luxury linen and serenade your sweetheart with one of the complimentary guitars left in suites for guests to play.

A city landmark built in 1918, the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel sits on Public Square. Rooms and suites come with traditional decor, marble countertops and organic Aveda products for a comfortable stay – and for those who fancy a flutter, it’s connected to Jack Casino. Try the Lobby Court bar for cocktails – or for a special occasion, the private dining room is a secluded spot – complete with views over the city – where the chefs can create a special personalized menu.

5. The Tudor Arms Cleveland, for a medieval caper

The mock castle fronting on the Tudor Arms hotel could make one feel like a knight in shining armor – or perhaps more appropriately, a cavalier. Catch a performance by the Cleveland Orchestra at historic Severance Hall nearby and afterwards have some medieval fun by sneaking into the Crystal Ballroom back at the hotel for a dance.

6. Metropolitan at the 9, Autograph Collection, for deep secrets underground

The Metropolitan at the 9 has stylish rooms and suites, top-level wining and dining and even a dog park for your furry friends. By night, have the resident mixologists concoct a love potion in the cocktail lounge housed deep beneath you in an old bank vault and round it off the next morning with a specialty bloody mary in restaurant Adega – complete with chicken jerky and a buffalo spiced rim.

7. The Glidden House, for old-world romance
