The Marriott at Key Center

The Marriott at Key Center stands on the site formerly occupied by the Engineers Building, which was completed in 1910.[2] This 14-story building had housed the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, or BLE, labor union,[4] but was demolished in 1989 to allow for the construction of Key Center.[2]

In 2016, The Marriott Hotel lost its tallest hotel in Cleveland status to the brand new Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel in late 2015, when the HCDH rose 374 feet high, containing 32 floors, thereby eclipsing the Marriott by 4 floors.[5] The Hilton almost bookends the shorter Marriott and sits across the street on the corner of Lakeside Avenue.
