Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Built in 1927 by E.M. Statler, considered “the Father of American Hotels,” this vast hotel has hosted presidents, business leaders, sports stars, and entertainment luminaries through the decades. It is often busy with conventions and meetings, and the lobby hums with activity. Crystal chandeliers sparkle overhead, a mezzanine balcony rings the space, and restaurants and bars line the periphery.
Insider tip: Just behind the hotel, across Columbus Avenue and Stuart Street, is a charming, little-known neighborhood called Bay Village. Tiny houses, many with flower boxes, line the quiet, tree-lined streets. One feels far from the city in this snug enclave.
