Hyatt Regency

With a prime downtown location right on Main Street, the dramatic 396-room Hyatt soars both into the sky and above its competition as the most elegant of the downtown chains. A former office building, it's been reworked into a French Renaissance-style structure, featuring a spectacular glass-topped lobby. Since it's connected to the convention center, it attracts a business-focused clientele, but the location makes this a great option for the leisure traveler, too. Transformed from variously shaped offices, the rooms are uniformly styled in a sharp chocolate, blue, and cream decor but aren't cookie-cutter at all. The hotel completed a $15.2-million renovation in mid-2009, so the comfy and spacious bedrooms have a modern, brand-new feel to them. Grab one above the eighth floor facing Lake Erie and you'll get the added bonus of a fantastic view.
