Coming to Cleveland Clinic for tests, surgery or treatment is easier when your hotel is close by. The main campus at 9500 Euclid Avenue has hotels right on campus – one connected by an enclosed walkway – plus suite hotels in nearby University Circle for longer stays.
Quick answer: the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland connects to campus by an enclosed walkway; the InterContinental Suites and Holiday Inn Cleveland Clinic are on campus with the free clinic shuttle. For longer stays, a kitchen suite in University Circle (about a 10-minute walk) is great value.

Where Cleveland Clinic is
The main campus is at 9500 Euclid Avenue, about 3–4 miles east of downtown Cleveland and next to University Circle’s museums and Case Western Reserve University. Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CLE) is about 16 miles away – roughly 30–40 minutes by car.
Treatment dates can move, so book with free cancellation when possible, and ask the on-campus hotels about their discounted rates for stays of 5+ or 30+ nights.

How to choose the right hotel for your stay
Start with how mobile the patient is and how long you will stay. If walking outdoors is hard, the walkway-connected InterContinental or the on-campus hotels with the free clinic shuttle are the easiest options. For longer stays, a kitchen suite in University Circle is often better value and still close to campus, while downtown hotels on the HealthLine can save money if appointments are spread out.
Getting there, shuttles & parking
- RTA HealthLine: bus rapid transit along Euclid Avenue from Public Square downtown through the clinic campus, running 24/7 (about every 7–10 minutes on weekday daytimes, 15 minutes on weekends).
- From CLE airport: take the RTA Red Line to Tower City/Public Square, then the HealthLine east – or drive about 30–40 minutes.
- Clinic parking: first hour free, then up to $12 per day in the garages. Multi-visit passes cost $36 for 7 visits or $120 for 35. Valet is $14 per day, capped at $70 for 5+ days. Parking Services: 216-444-2255.
- Hotel parking: budget about $20–25 per night at hotels near campus.
Helpful tips for patients and families
- Ask on-campus hotels for patient or extended-stay rates.
- Buy a multi-visit parking pass if you’ll be coming back several times.
- For cancer treatment, ask your care team about a Hope Lodge referral early – rooms are limited.
- For a stay of a week or more, a kitchen suite lowers meal costs and helps with special diets.
- The HealthLine runs around the clock, which helps for very early or late appointments.
Planning your stay around appointments that may change
Medical schedules rarely stay fixed. Tests lead to more tests, results prompt new appointments, and a planned three-night trip can turn into a week. Because of that, flexibility is the most valuable feature in a hotel booking for a Cleveland Clinic visit. Choose rates with free cancellation when you can, and ask whether the hotel will let you extend your stay at the same nightly price.
If you are unsure of your timeline, book the first few nights and ask the front desk how extensions work. Some hotels offer a weekly or monthly arrangement, while others only take reservations night by night. Keep a note of the hotel’s direct phone number, because it is often quicker to settle a change by calling than by going through a booking site.
Using the University Circle neighborhood on a free afternoon
The Cleveland Clinic main campus is close to University Circle, a neighborhood that is home to a cluster of cultural institutions, including the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The Cleveland Museum of Art is reported to offer free general admission, but check its website for current hours and any special exhibition charges before you visit. The area also includes the Wade Oval green space, which can be a calm place to sit between appointments.
These places can matter for families who need a gentle break from waiting rooms. A short outing does not have to be a sightseeing trip; a slow walk and a coffee can be enough. Only plan activities that fit your energy and your care team’s guidance, and be willing to cancel them without guilt. For visitors who are not patients, such as siblings or children traveling with a family, the nearby museums can provide something to do while a loved one is in an appointment.
Getting around Cleveland without stress
Cleveland’s public transit authority, RTA, operates bus and rail services in the area, and its HealthLine bus rapid transit route connects downtown with the University Circle and the medical campus area. Check the RTA website for current routes, fares, and schedules before you rely on a particular line, and look at the walking route from the nearest stop to your building.
If you plan to drive, find out where you will park for each appointment and how much it costs. Hotels may offer a shuttle or reduced parking, but this changes from property to property, so confirm directly. Ride-hailing and taxis are alternatives when you are tired or the weather is poor. If you or your companion uses a wheelchair or walker, ask in advance about accessible vehicles, and allow extra time on days when snow or ice slows traffic.
Packing and preparing for a stay in northeast Ohio
Northeast Ohio weather can change quickly. Winters are cold and often snowy, summers can be warm and humid, and spring and fall can swing from mild to chilly in the same week. Pack layers so that you can adapt, along with comfortable shoes for long corridors and waiting areas. Bring a small bag for day trips with water, snacks, chargers, and a folder of paperwork.
Hospital buildings are often cooler than people expect, so a light sweater is useful in any season. If you travel from far away, consider mailing any non-urgent items ahead to the hotel only if the hotel agrees. Ask your care team about anything health-related, such as what to bring or avoid, since this guide gives lodging information only and is not medical advice.
Questions to ask a hotel before booking
Before you reserve, ask whether the hotel offers a shuttle to the campus, what its hours are, and whether it is wheelchair accessible. Ask about early check-in or luggage storage if your flight lands before the room is ready, about the cost of parking, and about quiet rooms away from elevators or busy streets.
If you need a microwave, refrigerator, or kitchen access, confirm them in writing rather than assuming. Ask whether the hotel has experience with guests who are in town for medical care, and whether it has any longer-stay options. A hotel that answers these questions patiently is usually a good sign for the rest of your stay.
Cleveland Clinic: shuttles, parking options and who to call

Its travel page also points to parking garages, surface lots, valet service and discounts for extended stays, with details on separate parking, lodging and transportation pages.

How we checked this guide
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page is when we last reviewed it end to end.
- Parking rates, shuttle fees and transport times are taken from the port’s, venue’s or operator’s own published pages and from each hotel’s own website — not from aggregator sites.
- Distances and journey times are the figures the venue or transit operator publishes, not our estimates. Where we give a distance, we say what it is measured to.
- Hotel amenities (breakfast, shuttle hours, pet and parking policies) come from each hotel’s own site. These change more often than anything else here, so confirm them when you book.
- Room rates are deliberately not listed anywhere on this site. They move daily, and a price written one month is wrong the next. Our links take you to live pricing instead.
- We have not stayed at every hotel we write about. Where we contacted a property directly, the guide says so and gives the date. Where a figure comes from a third-party report rather than an official source, we say that too.
