CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cleveland is a top "emerging city," according to online travel company Priceline.com, which this week released a list of 10 U.S. destinations with the biggest percentage increase in annual bookings.

In an interview on CBS This Morning Friday, Priceline CEO Brett Keller cited Cleveland and Detroit as trending American cities that have seen dramatic increases in website bookings in recent years.

Hotel bookings to Cleveland are up 63 percent in the past five years; in Detroit, they're up 58 percent, according to the company.

"I think they're going through a bit of a renaissance," Keller said during the TV interview. "They've got a lot of really interesting urban culture happening there -- a lot of restaurants, breweries, night scenes."
