The largest city on Lake Erie, Cleveland connects the Midwest to both sides of the US, and Canada to the north. But it’s a playground in its own right, with parks, a vibrant arts and culture scene, and musical history. Adventures in the Forest City should be followed with a healthy dose of relaxation – time to soak up these Cleveland hotels with in-room jacuzzis, whirlpool baths and hot tubs.
