The Westin Cleveland Downtown\"\"<\/a> hotel will open in May in Cleveland’s downtown financial district, following a $64 million renovation. It will have a new look and a new general manager. Recently, the ownership hired Mark Anderson to lead the hotel in operations and guest services.<\/p>\n

Optima Ventures partnered with Sage Hospitality to buy and renovate downtown Cleveland\u2019s second-largest hotel. They paid $9 million for the property, purchasing it from the defunct financial-services giant Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. The renovation project started in December 2012, with Willoughby, Ohio-based Marous Brothers Construction as the general contractor. It is designed by McCarten, an award-winning New York design firm.<\/p>\n

When finished, the project will deliver a 484-room, contemporary, art-driven hotel, within steps of some of downtown Cleveland\u2019s most important attractions: the Cleveland Convention Center and Global Center for Health Innovation, Browns Stadium and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The new hotel will feature 20,000 square feet of flexible event space that can be divided into 20 separate rooms, including a 9,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom connected to the floor above by a glass staircase. Other amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a business center, a Starbucks, as well as a new restaurant, the Urban Farmer-Cleveland\u2019s Steakhouse. Once finished, the property is expected to achieve LEED certification.<\/p>\n

Anderson has experience with the Westin brand as well as Sheraton and Hilton. He previously managed such hotels as the 1,053-room Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers, the Hilton Stamford, the Sheraton Boston and the Westin Providence Hotel. He joined the Westin Cleveland Downtown on Dec. 11, 2013.<\/p>\n

“Sage is thrilled to have Mark lead us into the exciting Cleveland market,” Vincent Piro, divisional vice president of operations, premier & lifestyle for Sage Hospitality, said in a statement for the press. “This hotel will bring modern luxury, local flavor and authentic service to the Cleveland market. We look forward to its opening.”<\/p>\n
