Columbus lodging is mostly Downtown and immediately to the north around the convention center, as well as around the I–270 outer belt.
Twenty-five minutes north of Downtown, in a serene business park with man-made lakes, this suburban-style three-story stucco lodge contrasts with the commercial blocks around it. Rooms are spacious and decorated in earth tones–reds and light browns with cream-colored walls, the result of a 2006 renovation to convert this former Wyndham property. Some rooms have skylights and balconies.
A bed-and-breakfast with an artistic theme, this restored 1917 brick town house in Italian Village is near Downtown. Each room is named for an artist—Ansel Adams, Degas, Picasso—and furnished with antique and modern furnishings. Downstairs, a gallery displays the works of local artists in exhibitions that change every two months. The cobblestone patio off the rear of the house is a fine place to sit and ponder whether life really does imitate art. All rooms have private baths.
