For the traveler seeking a welcoming haven in Columbus, the Hilton Columbus Downtown stands as the city’s heart, embodying connection, inclusion, innovation, and energy. Jeffrey Beers International has played a pivotal role in the transformation of this iconic establishment, ensuring it reflects the culture of Midwest hospitality through inspiring artistry, locally sourced cuisine, and service excellence.

Now the largest hotel in Ohio, the newly expanded and renovated Hilton Columbus Downtown offers direct access to the Greater Columbus Convention Center via skybridge and boasts the city’s tallest outdoor rooftop bar, offering sweeping views of Columbus. The hotel encapsulates the vibrant, urban culture of Downtown Columbus through its stylishly designed environments, creative menus, and elegant events. 

The Arrival, circular in design, serves as the hotel’s connecting heart, leading guests to public spaces, restaurants, lounges, and meeting rooms. Here, guests are introduced to the hotel’s signature color palette—timeless grey, elegant beige, golden-bronze, and bold persimmon—and key materials such as white oak, satin aged bronze, and marble. A statement wall features a rose mural and a floating glass fireplace, symbolizing welcome and warmth.

At Reception, guests encounter an artistic bronze wall with a river-inspired etching, illuminated from within, and individual check-in desks offering privacy. Stories on High, the rooftop bar, balances the expansive midwestern skyline with a bustling interior, highlighted by an intricate wall-to-wall chandelier and inlay lighting. The oval-shaped bar, with youthful shelving suspended from the ceiling and an LED screen with colorful light patterns, enhances the inviting atmosphere. The outdoor seating areas provide a serene contrast, allowing guests to either immerse in the vibrant indoor vibe or enjoy the panoramic skyline.
