The 50 Best Hotel Openings of 2025

Fidelity Hotel, Cleveland

Keys: 97

Why we love it: The boutique hotel from New Waterloo and NuovoRE brings a fresh energy to the historic 1912 Baker Building, channeling the Short Vincent area’s jazz-era soul. Saturated hues, bespoke art, and layered materials further honor the city’s heritage while signaling its continued revival.
