CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS HOTEL CLEVELAND
COMPRESHENSIVE FACADE RESTORATION
HISTORIC INTERIOR REHABILIATATION
Challenge: Decades of wear and tear had compromised the terra cotta exterior. Solution: Marous Brothers meticulously replaced and repaired structural terra cotta, using molds to recreate historically accurate elements. Unlike many projects that use cheaper alternatives, they adhered to authentic restoration practices to ensure durability and historical fidelity.
Challenge: The interior had been layered with cosmetic changes over the decades, obscuring original finishes. Solution: The team carefully stripped surfaces to their original state, refinishing marble, updating lighting with custom fixtures, and replicating murals and maps that celebrate Cleveland’s history.
MECHANICAL & ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPDAGRADES
PHASED RENOVATION STRATEGY
Challenge: Outdated heating, cooling, and window systems were inefficient and incompatible with modern guest expectations. Solution: New energy-efficient windows and electric reheat systems were installed without altering the hotel’s historic appearance. The team integrated advanced HVAC systems to meet modern efficiency standards.
Challenge: The hotel had to remain operational during construction. Solution: The team coordinated phased renovations, working floor by floor to ensure a minimum of 100 rooms were always available for guests. Separate crews managed public areas and guest rooms to minimize disruptions.
Outstanding Renovation of a Cleveland Landmark Award: Hotel Cleveland received the Outstanding Renovation of a Cleveland Landmark award from the Cleveland Restoration Society and the American Institute of Architects.
Best of the Midwest Awards 2025: Hotel Cleveland has been named a Best of the Midwest Awards 2025 winner in the Hotels Category by Midwest Living Magazine.
