3 Best Hotels in Columbus, Ohio

This turquoise-and-cream 1890 Queen Anne is a perfect fit in its Victorian Village surroundings. It's easy to imagine yourself in another century as you lounge in a wicker chair on the bright blue front porch. The inn, which is near the Ohio State campus and the Short North, has a reputation for impeccable service, and guests rave about the candlelit breakfast. Rooms are individually styled but maintain a scheme of mauves and creams. A fully stocked apartment designed for short stays and appropriate for guests with children is also available.

One of Columbus's newer hotels is directly across the street from Polaris Fashion Place and an easy drive to most of Columbus's northern suburbs. Rooms have sofas, microwaves, and coffee pots, and the Wi-Fi is complementary.

The hotel is reliable and adjacent to campus—travelers seeking convenient lodging for OSU events need look no further. For business travelers, clean and respectable might not be enough to compete with the hotels they frequent.
