The Arcade (Hyatt Regency)- 1890
John Eisenmann and George H. Smith
10 Floors (each tower)
149 ft/45m
401 Euclid Avenue

The Arcade was built in 1890 and designed by John Eisenmann and George H. Smith. The construction was financed by John D. Rockefeller, Marcus Hanna and several other wealthy Clevelanders of the day with a cost of $875,000. The inspiration of the project is said to be the Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, Italy. Although pedestrian arcades exist in several North American cities, few compare to the grandeur of the Arcade in Cleveland. In 1973, the Arcade was the first building in Cleveland to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The structure includes the famous skylight-capped atrium as well as two 9-story towers, one each on Euclid Avenue and Superior Avenue. The top floor features gargoyles which circle the entire atrium area.  In 1940, the Arcade underwent renovation which included two major changes - the Euclid Avenue facade and the Superior Avenue staircase. Both were redesigned in an Art Deco fashion which was a popular style of the period.  The Euclid Avenue facade was altered to include two sculpted "medallions" of Charles Brush and Stephen Harkness, former presidents of the Cleveland Arcade Company. The Superior Avenue staircase was redesigned to accommodate a small retail space.

By the 1970s, the Arcade had suffered along with the decline of Euclid Avenue and downtown Cleveland. Although it never lost its opulence, the retail tenants felt the effects of much of Cleveland's population fleeing to the suburbs (and taking business with them). The Arcade was actually threatened with demolition as some myopic developers had plans to erect a 20-story office tower. Fortunately, sensible minds prevailed and the Arcade was maintained for several decades until it was redeveloped once again. In 2001, The Hyatt corporation redeveloped the Arcade into Cleveland's first Hyatt Regency hotel. The Hyatt Regency occupies the two towers and the top three floors of the atrium area. The two lower floors of the atrium area remain open to the public with retail spaces and a food court. In addition, the Hyatt's lobby and offices are located near the Superior Avenue entrance.
