The Story Behind The Hilliard Lofts

A historic Cleveland landmark reimagined for modern downtown loft living

About The Hilliard Lofts

Where Cleveland History Meets Modern Loft Living

Located in Cleveland’s historic Warehouse District, The Hilliard Lofts brings new life to one of the city’s most enduring commercial landmarks. Set within the nearly 177-year-old Hilliard Building, the property pairs original brick architecture and industrial character with thoughtfully designed loft accommodations and modern comforts. Just northwest of Public Square, it offers an intimate downtown stay surrounded by Cleveland’s restaurants, entertainment, sports, nightlife, and riverfront energy.

A Cleveland Landmark With a New Purpose

The Hilliard Building has stood at West 9th Street and Frankfort Avenue since the city’s early commercial days, witnessing generations of change in the Warehouse District around it. Today, The Hilliard Lofts preserves that sense of history while giving the building a distinctly modern purpose. Weathered brick, enduring architectural details, warm lighting, and contemporary design come together across a collection of intimate lofts. More than a place to stay, The Hilliard Lofts offers a closer connection to Cleveland itself — its architecture, energy, and evolving downtown character.
