Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Columbus

Columbus, the capital of Ohio, sits on the Scioto River and lives through its neighborhoods: galleries and cafés along High Street in the Short North, brick houses and cobblestones in German Village, and to the north the sprawling campus of Ohio State University. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel in Columbus, start by choosing the neighborhood. The two luxury hotels in Columbus could hardly differ more in character: an Art Deco tower by the river on one side, an art hotel on the gallery strip on the other.Hotel LeVeque ColumbusHotel LeVeque Columbus · Civic CenterArchitecture lovers stay at Hotel LeVeque Columbus, on floors five to ten of a 1927 tower, looking out over the river or the Statehouse; dogs are welcome there, too. Art fans head up North High Street to Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph. There, works from a private collection fill the lobby, and the university is closer than from downtown.

History

Art Deco history and art in the Short North: what the luxury hotels in Columbus feel like today

Sleeping in a 1927 skyscraper: The LeVeque Tower opened in 1927 as the American Insurance Union Citadel, 47 stories of Art Deco designed by C. Howard Crane. Since 2017 Hotel LeVeque Columbus has occupied floors five to ten, with 149 rooms including six suites. West-facing rooms look over the riverside park on the Scioto, east-facing ones onto Capitol Square.

Le Méridien Columbus, The JosephLe Méridien Columbus, The Joseph · Italian Village

A small evening ritual: A stay at Hotel LeVeque Columbus comes with a star-themed turndown service, the hotel's signature touch. The fitness center is open around the clock, and pets are welcome in the rooms.

Collector's art instead of hotel prints: Art is the first thing that greets you at Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph. The two-story lobby shows works from the Pizzuti family's private collection, including pieces by KAWS, Nari Ward and Fred Wilson. The theme continues in the rooms with works from the Ohio Valley Art Program. Gensler designed the interiors.

Dining

Dining at the luxury hotels in Columbus: a brasserie in the tower, a restaurant in the Short North

French flair in an Art Deco tower: On the lobby level of the LeVeque Tower, The Keep Kitchen & Liquor Bar serves modern brasserie cooking somewhere between France and America, from breakfast through lunch and dinner to weekend brunch. The bar pours signature cocktails, beer and wine. Booked through suitespot, breakfast for two is included daily at Hotel LeVeque Columbus.

In the Short North: The Guild House restaurant is part of Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph. All around it, High Street is lined with restaurants, bars and cafés that make it easy to stretch an evening in the neighborhood.

Our tip: weekend brunch in the tower

If your trip includes a Sunday in Columbus, book brunch at The Keep in Hotel LeVeque Columbus. Afterwards it is just a short stroll to the riverside park on the Scioto.

Where to stay

German Village, Short North and the Scioto Mile: neighborhoods around your 5-star hotel in Columbus

Bricks and books: South of downtown, German immigrants built German Village in the 19th century, a district of brick houses and paved lanes. At its heart is The Book Loft, a bookstore with 32 rooms where losing track of time is part of the fun. From the luxury hotels in Columbus it is a short drive.
