US: Method Co’s ROOST Apartment Hotel brand has opened its latest property, on Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland.
The opening marks the first location outside of Philadelphia for the ROOST brand and “the first high-design extended-stay hotel concept for the city of Cleveland”.
The newest ROOST offers 62 apartments, public spaces, and custom guest amenities for travellers looking for both short and long-term accommodations in Cleveland. In partnership with Bedrock, a Cleveland and Detroit real estate developer, this will be the fourth ROOST to open from Method Co., which is doubling its portfolio with additional forthcoming ROOST locations opening in Tampa and Detroit later this year.
The Cleveland property features studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments on three floors within the May Company building, an adaptive restoration of the department store built by architect Daniel Burnham.
It has been designed and curated by Morris Adjmi Architects & Method Studios, Method Co.’s in-house design firm. The May’s amenities include a three-storey open-air atrium, panoramic rooftop terrace with gas grills and city views, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a private yoga studio.
Acquired by Bedrock in 2017, the May Company building has anchored Cleveland’s Public Square for more than 100 years, when the department store opened in its namesake building in 1915 and where it operated until 1993. It remained primarily vacant until Bedrock commenced an extensive transformation of the property, seeking to restore its most definitive features such as the iconic pediment clock and terra cotta façade. The May welcomed its first residents in August 2020.
