In the 1970’s though the city of Cleveland was in decline, its rock ‘n’ roll scene was raging. “Cleveland was a national breakout town with worldwide impact,” said Steve Popovich, who worked at the time as an executive at Columbia Records. “You had a radio station like WMMS, clubs like the Agora and a lot of great fans. It all came together at Swingos, the real rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame.” According to Don George, who worked as a representative for Kiss’ label, Casablanca Records, Swingos did what few hotels at the time were willing to do: It appealed to long-haired musicians looking for some flash.
“It offered outrageous-looking rooms, reasonable rates and a very tolerant attitude – everything any musician would want,” George said. “It was a great place to stay or just throw a party.”
Turning a businessman’s hotel into Action Central wasn’t a simple task, however. Swingos ditched the bland decor for glitzy rooms with wild themes, from a safari room to a Bogie-themed “Casablanca” suite. Expanded food and booze menus – anything to cater to the stars. No request was rejected – even the most bizarre.
