The Statler Arms Apartments is a historically renovated former Statler Hotel high-rise in the Theater District in downtown Cleveland that was transformed into 295 apartments in 2001 on East 12th Street and Euclid.[1] The Statler Arms is 192 feet high and rises to 14 floors above the street.[2] It is considered one of the best hotel to apartment conversions in the city and features high-end apartments that offer unique living experiences in downtown Cleveland.[3] The apartments are now surrounded by high-end luxury apartments, hotels, office blocks and the Cleveland Union Club Building which sits across the street on East 12th. These new entities include The 9 Cleveland, the ongoing conversion of the former Huntington Bank Building into luxury retail and apartments,[4] the Reserve Square apartment towers complex, the Metropolitan Hotel at the 9, the Schofield Building conversion into a Kimpton Hotel,[5] the future Euclid Avenue Hotel, the Wyndham Hotel at Playhouse Square and Halle Brothers Co. office building. The Statler was named Property of the Year by The Northeast Ohio Apartment Association in 2014.[6]

History

The Hotel Statler Cleveland opened on Euclid and East 12th on October 12, 1912 and contained 700 rooms.[7] The success of the Cleveland entity soon led to the opening of "Statler's" in Washington, D.C., St. Louis, New York City, Hartford, Dallas, and Los Angeles. The hotel was expanded and modernized in the 1930's, these upgrades included 300 more rooms, the Terrace dining room, the new Gentlemen's Lounge, a library, and the stylish Pompeian Room.[8] When Hilton bought the hotel in 1954, the Cleveland was touted as one of the best of the former Statler chain.[9] Unfortunately, an overflow of hotel rooms in the city eventually affected the once grand hotel, and occupancy fell causing the hotel to close in 1967, though Hilton continued to manage the property.[10] The Statler was converted into an office building before being restored to its original splendor in 2001.
