Planning a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland? Great idea! The Hall has everything from Michael Jackson’s glove to John Lennon’s glasses to Jimi Hendrix’s guitar on display.
Finding hotels near the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn’t too difficult, as there are lots of good options.
Downtown Cleveland has a ton of hotels, but many of them are a mile or more from the Rock Hall itself. That might be a bit too far to walk, especially if you’re visiting during the cold winter months.
We recommend saying at one of the seven major hotels within a half-mile of the Hall. This article presents the options that will be less than a 10-minute walk from the Hall museum.
