The Spotlight on Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

Central Comfort Just Steps from the Columbus Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown offers a prime location for music lovers heading into the heart of Columbus. Just a short walk from the Greater Columbus Convention Center and the buzzing Arena District, this hotel blends comfort with convenience. Guests enjoy thoughtful in-room amenities like a microwave, mini-fridge, and flat-screen TV, while shared spaces include an indoor pool and business center. With free WiFi throughout and homey touches like complimentary soda and popcorn in the lobby, it’s a relaxed and friendly base for concert-filled getaways.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re within easy walking distance of top venues in the Arena District, meaning no rideshares or parking hassles after a show. The hotel’s central spot makes late-night eats and post-concert drinks totally walkable. Back at the hotel, rooms are quiet and cozy — perfect for winding down after high-energy performances. The 3:00 PM check-in is convenient for afternoon arrivals, and the 11:00 AM checkout gives you time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to stay close to the action
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend of it
  • Fans who want a peaceful place to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on site, free popcorn and soda in the lobby adds a fun touch. The Arena District — packed with eateries — is just steps away, and with a fridge and microwave in every room, late-night leftovers are no problem. Breakfast is available and ideal for those who need a slow start after a big night.

Nightlife Options

You’re in the perfect spot to explore the local scene. The nearby Arena District is known for its bars, pubs, and live music spots, whether you’re in the mood for an energetic club or a chill cocktail lounge. While the hotel doesn’t offer its own nightlife options, its proximity to entertainment means you won’t miss out.

What People Say

Guests regularly praise the cleanliness, friendly staff, and unbeatable location — especially for events at the convention center or nearby venues. The free snacks and overall value get frequent shout-outs, as does the peace and quiet despite the downtown setting. Many reviews mention how easy it is to walk to concerts and back.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that parking can be a bit pricey, and the lack of an on-site bar or restaurant may be a downside for those looking to hang out without leaving the hotel. Still, with dining steps away, most don’t mind.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting comfort, walkability, and a few fun extras, Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown hits all the right notes.

Adrienne D, Cincinnati, visiting KEMBA Live! Columbus Thu, 16 June 2022

Our stay was truly wonderful. Our room was spacious and offered all the amenities that we could want, including microwave and fridge. The bathroom was one of the cleanest we've ever been in, in a hotel. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub which were very nice. We knew there was a complimentary breakfast, but were shocked when we were told there would be a complimentary dinner and 3 (yes, 3) free drinks for each person in our party! And dinner wasn't just a few snacks, but a nice buffet with salad and nacho bar. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The bartender was just the sweetest! We came to town for a concert, which we were able to walk to and we were all so happy with our stay that we definitely plan on coming back very soon!

Liked: Very clean bathroom; complimentary meals AND drinks!
Disliked: None at all!
