Michael DeAloia’s Lost Grand Hotels of Cleveland is hot off the press and offers folks a glimpse into Cleveland’s rich hospitality history with anecdotes, lessons, and, of course, photographs. 

He’s offered to share a selection of his images— many pulled from the Cleveland Press Archives and Cleveland Public Library— with us.

Enjoy.

  1. Cleveland during the gilded age was so infinitely fascinating and mesmerizing. What a fabulous look back at this city’s very rich history, a history that rivals that of many other large American cities.
