Things to Do:

Ever dream of sleeping under the stars, indoors, wrapped in Van Gogh’s Starry Night?

CLEVELAND – If immersing yourself in the Original Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit Cleveland has you yearning for even more of a Vincent Van Gogh experience, now you can indulge yourself in an exclusive suite at Kimpton Schofield Hotel in the heart of Downtown Cleveland.

Sleep under the stars, relax among a field of wheat and surround yourself with some of the artist’s most recognizable works in a one-of-a-kind immersive Van Gogh Suite that shares the rich history and culture of the Dutch Post-Impressionist, ensconced in a luxurious suite and augmented with the Schofield’s personal touch and exceptional amenities.

Overlooking East Ninth Street, the suite offers vistas that include Playhouse Square and Lake Erie. And the living room, bedroom and bathroom provide a captivating experience for guests to be submersed and captivated by some of Van Gogh’s greatest works.

“Staying in a beautiful suite wrapped in Van Gogh’s greatest works is definitely a one-of-a-kind way to extend the sense of immersion associated with the exhibit,” said Jordan Nye, the Schofield’s director of sales and marketing. “Whether unwinding in the suite or experiencing some of our other amenities, this will be a beautiful, different and sought-after experience, exclusive to the Kimpton Schofield and to Cleveland.”

Upon arriving at the suite, the exterior door is wrapped in Country Road in Provence by Night, featuring cypress trees, the unmistakable symbol of Provence. The living room provides a 360-degree experience, with all walls wrapped in Wheat Fields Near Auvers 1888, demonstrating Van Gogh’s fascination with the vast fields of wheat that stretched about Auvers-sur-Oise, a town north of Paris where he lived the last two months of his life.

In the luxurious bathroom, the wall behind the bathtub features Almond Blossom, the flowering trees special to Van Gogh, representing awakening and hope. Finally, guests will sleep under the stars, with the bedroom wrapped in Starry Night – one of the most recognized pieces of art in the world – allowing peaceful and comfortable slumber.

“Our partnership with the Schofield is affording anyone who comes to our exhibit another immersive and almost surreal way to be surrounded by Van Gogh’s artwork,” said exhibit representative Rita Russo. “Cleveland is the only city that offers this suite experience, furthering a personal journey of experiencing this amazing artwork.”

Wiertel, whose large-format digital printing company is based in Cleveland, said, “Partnering with the Schofield to create a one-of-a-kind suite was a great opportunity to offer people an exceptional and unique experience they cannot find anywhere else. The popularity of the exhibit, coupled with a personal immersive experience, is exceptionally fun and unique.”

For Van Gogh aficionados looking for other ways to celebrate, the Schofield also offers a “non-immersive” date night room that includes champagne and chocolate in the room and two reserved tickets in the VIP Room at the immersive exhibit.

Located at 850 E. 72nd Street, Immersive Van Gogh features state-of-the-art technology and immersive storytelling. The breathtaking exhibit is called one of “the hottest tickets in town!” This venue provides us the ability to feature this multi-dimensional experience in a truly unique space.

Renowned for transforming venues into unforgettable art experiences, the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit strives to highlight the unique architecture of its spaces while integrating influences from its history and community. Rising to blockbuster status with over four million tickets sold, Immersive Van Gogh is proving to be one of the hottest shows soldout in Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. Audiences will have the opportunity to step into this unique space that will be transformed with Van Gogh’s paintbrush in a swirl of color, brought to life with over 90,000,000 pixels of animation.
