2018’s hotel occupancy in downtown Cleveland and University Circle reached nearly 70 percent, which was about a four percent increase over 2017. In addition, average hotel rates rose from $145 in 2017 to $153 in 2018.
This rise in hotel occupancy in 2018 can be credited to a variety of factors, like the Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors exhibit and FRONT International: Cleveland Triennial, the NBA playoffs and convention center events that have drawn hotel bookings.
“The goal of the downtown convention center is to attract people to stay overnight,” David Sangree, a hotel consultant, told Cleveland.com. “They are doing a better job of that.”
