The Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel is a skyscraper on the corner of Ontario Street and Lakeside Avenue along The Mall (Cleveland) in the downtown neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. It will open in 2016, will have 600 rooms and will stand 32 stories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First look: new downtown Hilton offers stunning views of downtown, Lake Erie (photos) )〕 It is one of five Hilton hotels in downtown Cleveland, the other four being Hilton Garden Inn (Cleveland), the Double Tree Hotel Cleveland, Reserve Square and Hampton Inn (Cleveland). The building has been constructed under a partnership between the city of Cleveland, Ohio and the county of Cuyahoga for the purposes of attracting larger conventions to the city of Cleveland. The agreement was entered into under the first chief executive of Cuyahoga County Ed FitzGerald's administration and the three term mayor of Cleveland Frank G. Jackson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hilton Downtown Cleveland convention hotel is on track for completion in time for Republican National Convention )〕 The hotel will be the tallest and largest in the city. The current largest hotel is the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel which has 500 rooms.〔Greenberg, Peter S. (29 April 1990). "Hotel Disasters Have Put Key Issue Under Fire". Los Angeles Times (latimes.com). Retrieved 2014-08-29.〕 This is the first major hotel constructed in the city since the building of the Marriott at Key Center was erected in 1991 at a height of 320 feet with 385 rooms.〔"Cleveland Marriott Downtown at Key Center". Emporis.com. Retrieved 2015-08-15.〕 The new Hilton will be managed by Teri Agosta.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CrainsCleveland.com : Subscription Center )〕 ==Impetus for hotel== Following the construction completion of the new Global Center for Health Innovation and spurred by a tax over run that was raised by the county to construct that facility, the first chief executive of Cuyahoga County, Ed FitzGerald spearheaded the notion that the county needed to mount a hotel project to meet demand for bigger conventions that would overlook Cleveland simply because it no longer had a large enough hotel to accommodate over 500 guests at a time in one location. This was due to the fact that back in the 1990s, the Stouffer's company (who owned the hotel at the time) renovated the 1000 room Hotel Cleveland at Public Square (connected to the iconic Terminal Tower) down to just 500 rooms. Not many Clevelanders knew this, but tourist groups and convention planners certainly did. This had become something of a liability to the tourism of Cuyahoga County and Cleveland was no longer be considered a convention town.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=11 actions Ed FitzGerald, Cuyahoga County's first executive, will be remembered for )〕 It has been widely acknowledged that the Hilton Hotel project was instrumental in landing the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
