Hilton Columbus Downtown

Opened in October 2012, the $140 million, the Hilton Columbus Downtown celebrates its location in the Short North Arts District of Columbus, Ohio, with a collection of more than 150 works of contemporary art from 128 central Ohio artists. The art, together with 13 stories of sleek, modern architecture, reflects the creative energy of the district, home to more than 300 trendy shops, restaurants, and nightspots.

For meetings, the hotel offers 532 guest rooms and 32,000 square feet of up-to-the-minute conference space—plus a glass sky bridge to another 1.7 million square feet at the Greater Columbus Convention Center across the street. Highlights at home include a fitness center, indoor pool, and the Gallerie Bar & Bistro, an atrium restaurant with an artful take on fresh locally sourced produce and Ohio-signature products.
