Drive By: Cleveland’s Tudor Arms Hotel

When I used to work in Shaker Heights, I occasionally had to drive to downtown Cleveland, to see clients or drop off work. Passing through the University Circle area, I always noted the handsome old gothic-revival hotel (which has also served as a men’s club and student housing) with its exquisite architectural detailing.

I’ve never had the opportunity to go inside, but you can take a tour via the photos included in a recent Cleveland Plain Dealer story on the Tudor Arm’s induction into the Historic Hotels of America, an organization that celebrates the best of the past in the lodging world.

Completed in 1933, The Tudor Arms has been on the National Register since 1994. For more information: tinyurl.com/historictudorarms or historichotels.org. To read the article, go here: http://www.cleveland.com/travel/index.ssf/2015/04/clevelands_tudor_arms_hotel_in.html
