The Colonial Hotel opened on Prospect Avenue in 1898 in conjunction with the opening of the Colonial Arcade which connected to the hotel's main lobby. One of the finest hotels in Cleveland at the time of its opening, by the 1970s the Colonial Hotel had become rundown. In 2000, however, the hotel reopened as a Marriott Residence Inn as part of the multi-million dollar Colonial Marketplace project. This project also included the renovation and connection of the Colonial and Euclid Arcades. | Creator: Detroit Publishing Company | Source: Library of Congress Download Original File
