The InterContinental Hotel Cleveland is a beautiful luxury
hotel right on Cleveland

Its 295 rooms are clean and spacious, with exceptionally large
and elegant marble bathrooms featuring separate walk-in showers and tubs. The hotel has a 500-seat
amphitheater and large ballroom that host numerous medical meetings plus a 24-hour fitness center and two on-site restaurants. For lower room rates, travelers could check out the InterContinental

Scene
Classy hotel that hosts Clinic patients and meeting delegates from around the world
Located in the heart of the world-famous Cleveland Clinic’s
campus, the InterContinental attracts patients, visitors, and medical professionals, and is a regular venue for medical industry-related conferences and events. Polished marble floors and richly stained wood columns, door frames,
and wall and ceiling panels create a sophisticated atmosphere, enhanced by a curve wooden front desk and a few orb-like light fixtures. Modern,
designer-quality furniture is placed throughout the spacious lobby, foyers, and
hallways, and an impressive modern art collection on the walls adds splashes
of color to the otherwise muted decor.
Location
On the Cleveland Clinic campus, about 14 minutes from downtown Cleveland
The hotel is the heart of Cleveland Clinic’s campus on the
city’s East Side. It's connected to the Clinic’s facilities by an enclosed
pedestrian walkway and adjacent to a large green space. There are a couple of fast food restaurants within a three- to five-minute walk from the hotel, but no other restaurants are within reasonable walking distance. The Clinic campus is safe with plenty of people walking about at all hours, but the surrounding area can feel a bit sketchy. It's just over a five-minute drive to University Circle and its
museums, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland Botanical Garden,
and Cleveland Museum of Art. The Clinic operates a free shuttle to and from the
University Circle area that stops at the hotel. Case Western Reserve University is about four
minutes away by car, and the Cleveland State University campus is a 10-minute
drive. Most major downtown attractions can be reached in a drive of about 12 to 14
minutes, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Quicken Loans
Arena, Progressive Field, and First Energy Stadium. A stop on the RTA Health
Line that runs to downtown is a five-minute walk from the hotel entrance. Service
to most downtown attractions takes 25 to 35 minutes. The Cleveland Hopkins
International Airport is approximately a 25-minute drive or one hour by public
transit.
