Marriott at Key Center

The Marriott at Key Center is a 28-story hotel and office tower with contemporary glass facades located in Downtown Cleveland. The structure combines guest rooms and office space under one roof while forming a distinct element of the city skyline.

Architect César Pelli designed this dual-purpose building that opened in 1991 as part of Cleveland's downtown revitalization efforts. The project marked a turning point in the city's modern transformation of its business district.

The building reflects 1990s corporate design through its geometric forms and extensive glass surfaces that shaped American downtown architecture of that era. These design elements remain recognizable features of the urban landscape today.

The building houses meeting spaces, a fitness center, and dining options with direct access to Cleveland's downtown business district. The location allows for easy walking access to other major facilities throughout the city center.

Each hotel room features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame varying views of Lake Erie and the Cleveland skyline depending on the floor and room location. These expansive windows were a distinctive aspect of the building's modern design concept when it opened.
