Make the Most of Your Columbus Stay

A creative capital with Midwestern warmth

Columbus balances the energy of Ohio State University with the sophistication of a state capital. The Short North Arts District anchors the city's cultural identity, where monthly Gallery Hop events draw crowds to locally owned galleries and restaurants along High Street's illuminated arches. German Village preserves 19th-century brick cottages on cobblestone streets, creating an atmosphere transported from another era. The National Veterans Memorial and Museum represents the city's commitment to meaningful architecture.

Dining and business infrastructure

The culinary scene has matured considerably, with The Refectory offering fine dining in a converted church and Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse bringing Art Deco elegance downtown. The Arena District provides convenient access to Nationwide Arena and the Greater Columbus Convention Center, with the Scioto Mile's riverfront parks offering respite between meetings. John Glenn Columbus International Airport sits just 10 minutes from downtown, making arrivals refreshingly efficient.

Exploring beyond the city

Central Ohio's location positions you within 2 hours of Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Hocking Hills State Park's waterfalls and caves. Members can use miles to book accommodations from the Short North to Easton's upscale retail district.
