This place was built in 1890,s one of America’s first indoor shopping mall. Updated and renovated over the years, this place is incredible, multi levels of shopping, a bunch of restaurants and eateries all around. The Arcade is attached to the Hyatt Regency for even more convenient stays. It’s walking distance to many of the Cleveland sites including the progressive stadium, local casinos and the Rock and Roll hall of game.

Chose this site for a Feb. wedding in case weather made outdoor photos and travel difficult. You could not take a bad photo there as the architecture makes every shot beautiful. Stayed at the accompanying Hyatt and the experience was top-notch. The hotel is recently remodeled and every staff member we met was professional, polite, and efficient. Very reasonable price for hotel block and reception. Sadly, many of the storefronts are empty but those that are there are great. If you are just walking through, you can see it in less than an hour. Everyone that came through took lots of photos. A true Cleveland treasure!

This budding is fabulous. The detail and the hugeness of it is worth a walk through. It’s such a shame that it is virtually empty, don’t know how much was filled pre pandemic. Go to Pizza 216 for excellent pizza (we had the veggie) and great beer and atmosphere.

The architecture and style of building was cold but there wasn’t a lot to do. Most of the spaces were empty or not open on the weekend. The hotel and hotel lounge/restaurant take up half of the spaces and a pizza place is on the other end.
4th street restaurants and bars are close by but don’t open till 11 or 12.

My daughters and I were on a spring break trip to Cleveland and stopped here as part of wandering around downtown for a morning. The Arcade is worth a stop and walk through as the architecture is stunning. My impression is that it has picked up a bit since some of the people who wrote reviews visited. I don't know what the Hyatt rooms are like but I would love to stay here for the ambiance alone. When visiting Cleveland, do plan to spend some time downtown and do a walk through.

We were here on a weekend and there was not a whole lot going on. Most of the former stores look to be offices now, and the arcade serves as a kind of entry to the Hyatt Regency.
It would be amazing to have stores re-opened here so that it will be humming with activity again. It will take time though.
From the pure standpoint of architecture and artistry, the Arcade is definitely worth a visit.

Just strolling around and made a point to locate this building ...spectacular interior although my impression was that the shops were depressed due to covid concerns leading to a stop in foot traffic. There was a wedding group there snapping pics...beautiful setting

The "Old Arcade" is interesting to see -- a 4 level structure lined with places for shops but, in general, they are not operating. In fact, a wedding took over the place when we were there and we couldn't even walk around inside. If you are nearby, worth a quick look but not worth a special trip to it.

Visiting the 1890 arcade was special architecturally--to see a wonderful 19th Century marvel. Beautiful arcade, marble stairs, and many gargoyles. However, the arcade seems to have been on a decline in use over the past 20 years or so with few stores rented, and when we visited a heavily empty Hyatt occupying the upper floors. It must have been amazing to see it in its vibrant days with shoppers scurrying to and fro.

The Arcade Cleveland opened in May of 1890 as the first indoor shopping center in America. It quickly became one of downtown Cleveland’s most popular landmarks, and was nicknamed Cleveland’s Crystal Palace. It was modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy!
Stunning walking amongst the floors and also seeing where Thomas Edison had his own store. Today the Hyatt Regency has a hotel on the 3rd floor where they turned each shop into a hotel room! It’s a must see icon if you visit Cleveland!

We are staying at The Hotel. Going to Cleveland Clinic. Any restaurants open tonight?..... late afternoon suggestions?
Written December 17, 2018
I'm sorry; I just saw this. I agree with the other 2 reviewers. Also, and along the trolley route, are some restaurants near Playhouse Square, about 10 blocks west. District, in particular, I think is fabulous. Good luck at the Clinic and I hope you found a restaurant and enjoyed it. If you have time, stop in at our beautiful grocery store at East 9th and Euclid - Heinen's - it's one of a kind!
