Glidden House

• Based in an early 20th century mansion, the Glidden House is a boutique hotel located 3 1/2 miles inland from Bratenahl on the Case Western Reserve University campus. As such, Glidden House is particularly busy around the time of graduation. A number of package deals are offered by Glidden House, with partnerships between the hotel and the Cleveland Rock Hall and Cleveland Orchestra, for example. On-site, Sergio's Restaurant offers American cuisine accompanied by live music, and the Palette Lounge serves signature cocktails and a tapas menu. Travelers looking for culture can access the Cleveland University Circle cultural and arts district, where the Museum of Art, Botanical Gardens, Museum of Natural History and Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum await.
