Ritz-Carlton Cleveland rolls out the gold carpet for Cavs fans

The Ritz-Carlton Cleveland is rolling out the gold carpet for Cleveland Cavaliers fans celebrating the basketball finals.

Celebrants are invited to wear their caps and jerseys and join in the fun at the hotel's official TV viewing parties set for the evenings of June 2, 5, 8 and 10 and, as needed, June 13, 16 and 19. Viewing festivities begin one hour before game time.

The Lobby Lounge on 6 will offer game night food and drinks highlighted by a new cocktail, the "All In." Created with tequila, triple sec and prickly pear liqueur, the All In is garnished with a gold sugar rim and sprinkled with gold dust, and served in a martini glass.

Hotel guests staying on the Ritz-Carlton Club Level over the finals dates will enjoy extra televisions in The Club Lounge, as well as basketball-inspired treats and beverages.

The hotel also has a squad of game day concierges. Basketball enthusiast employees will provide guests of the hotel with information on home games, team stats, traffic and crowd updates, walking routes and parking for the arena.

The Ritz-Carlton is at 1515 W. Third St., adjacent to Quicken Loans Arena. Phone 216-623-1300.
