History in Cleveland
Why do people visit Cleveland? Most come to visit downtown for either business or to attend a sporting event, maybe checking in at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the same time. For them, many tall chain hotels are available. Cleveland is also a city long known for the cultural venues offered further east, in and around the area known at the University Circle. Museums, buildings dedicated to higher education, Severance Hall - home to the symphony - can all be found here. The best home base for all of this culture is the Glidden House. The house was built for the son of the founder of the Glidden Paint Company and that family lived here until the 1950's when it was donated to the Case Western Reserve University. Eventually, a wing of rooms of added onto the east side of the house and the whole building was turned into a boutique hotel. The carriage house was turned into Sergio's Restaurant which features a Brazilian theme. Suites are located in the old section of the house and they look nice on the internet. The rooms are more than adequate featuring large flat screen televisions. The breakfast rooms are very elegant places to start your day and tarry about over one more cup of coffee while catching up on the new in the Plain Dealer.
