Top neighbourhoods in Columbus

The Short North Arches taken near the Cap.

Short North

Short North pulses with creative energy as Columbus's premier arts district. Galleries line High Street, where Victorian buildings house contemporary art spaces and boutique shops. The monthly Gallery Hop transforms pavements into a lively parade of art lovers exploring illuminated shopfronts and pop-up displays. Colourful murals splash across brick walls while street performers add to the artistic atmosphere. Dining options range from upscale farm-to-table restaurants to casual gastropubs with craft cocktails and local brews. Boutique hotels in historic buildings offer artistic flair and personalised service. The neighborhood's excellent walkability makes exploring easy, with most attractions within a three-block radius.

German Village

German Village charms visitors with its brick-lined streets and 19th-century architecture that feels like a slice of Europe in Ohio. The Book Loft beckons with 32 rooms of literary treasures, while Schiller Park offers 23 acres of green space perfect for people-watching. Wander past historic cottages and breathe in the mouthwatering aromas wafting from authentic German eateries. The area serves up hearty German cuisine alongside upscale American bistros, with most spots requiring weekend reservations. Boutique bed & breakfasts in restored Victorian homes provide the perfect home base for exploring. The area's highly walkable layout makes getting around a breeze, though cobblestones can be tricky for those with mobility concerns.

Downtown Columbus

City centre Columbus buzzes with big-city energy, where sleek skyscrapers meet historic theatres. Catch a hockey game at Nationwide Arena or browse local goods at North Market before taking in a show at the ornate Ohio or Palace Theatre. The Columbus Museum of Art offers a peaceful retreat from the business district's hustle, while seasonal festivals bring the streets to life. Dining ranges from quick food lorry lunches to upscale steakhouses with strong happy hour scenes. Hotels cater primarily to business travellers with mid to high-end pricing. The area is highly walkable with excellent bus service and bike lanes connecting attractions throughout the district.

Arena District

The Arena District buzzes with electric energy on game nights when hockey fans storm Nationwide Arena. Surrounding the sports complex, you'll find sleek bars and restaurants ready to fuel your pre-concert excitement or post-game celebrations. KEMBA Live! draws music lovers while the Columbus Children's Theatre adds cultural flair to this entertainment hub. Upscale steakhouses and sports bars dominate the food scene, though prices climb when events are happening. Modern hotels and luxury apartments offer stylish places to crash after the action dies down. Everything sits within easy walking distance, but be ready for crowds when the Blue Jackets are playing or a big concert hits town.

Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio

University District

The University District pulses with the energy of Ohio State's sprawling campus. Catch cutting-edge exhibitions at the Wexner Centre for the Arts or cheer with thousands at "The Shoe" stadium. High Street buzzes with vintage shops, concert venues like Newport Music Hall, and diverse eateries that cater to student budgets and curious foodies alike. COTA buses connect you to city centre Columbus in minutes, while the walkable campus invites exploration of its tree-lined quads and Mirror Lake. Budget-friendly hotels and apartments offer practical lodging, though rates spike during football season and graduation. The area truly shines on game days when scarlet and grey transform the streets into a lively celebration.

Columbus and related destinations

Between the banks of the Scioto River and the bustle of High Street, a city of surprising contrasts awaits. The Ohio Statehouse offers free tours beneath its distinctive limestone dome, while COSI makes science genuinely entertaining with interactive exhibits that captivate all ages. The Short North Arts District transforms on Gallery Hop nights when boutiques and studios fling open their doors. At the Columbus Zoo, Jack Hanna's legacy lives on through conservation programs and surprisingly personal animal encounters. German Village's brick streets lead to Schiller Park, where summer brings free Shakespeare performances. Don't miss North Market's food stalls, where local vendors have been perfecting their specialities since 1876.

The Westin Great Southern Columbus

The Westin Great Southern Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"Was a very nice stay."

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Blackwell Inn while visiting Columbus, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel strikes a perfect balance between professional sophistication and genuine comfort. My room was immaculately clean, well-appointed, and incredibly quiet, providing a relaxing sanctuary after a long day. The attention to detail—from the quality of the linens to the intuitive layout of the space—really stood out. What truly elevated the stay, however, was the service. Every member of the staff I encountered was welcoming, professional, and genuinely attentive to ensuring guests felt well-cared for"

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I understand the need for appropriate staffing and having the pool open, but due to the festivities I was in town for, I was not able to enjoy the pool or the hot tub due to the hours of operations. That was a bummer for me. Otherwise, you have an excellent facility and staff."

Olentangy Motor Inn

Olentangy Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"2nd time staying here. Close to Ohio State campus. Room was clean and price was good. It is a motor inn so outside doors & some of our neighbors were noisy but not the motel’s fault. We had an issue with our key card not working and the overnight manager handled it quickly with a friendly demeanor. Free breakfast was a choice of 3 different breakfast sandwiches and a black coffee. Could get specialty coffee or other food items for a fee as it is an actual coffee shop on site. Sandwiches were tasty."

Hyatt Regency Columbus

Hyatt Regency Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was the best I've stayed in Columbus yet. It is centrally located, easy to find, easy to use, has a great staff, is incredibly clean and well-designed. The best part: they had the WNBA games on in the lobby without prompting! No lines at check-in, easy parking, elevators, food delivery system, great rooms with ample space, temperature control, and comfortable beds. This will be my new go-to spot when arriving in Columbus."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Columbus

Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Columbus is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower.

During your visit, you can enjoy a variety of experiences, including theatre performances, live music events, local sports, vibrant festivals, and fascinating art exhibitions. This timeframe offers great value for money while providing ample opportunity to explore the urban charm and shopping delights of Columbus.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Columbus, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on nearby accommodations as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you seize opportunities for savings. Additionally, utilise Smart Shopping, a comparison tool within the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you are informed of any price drops or availability changes for your preferred hotels.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Columbus hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and sometimes offer better value.
