The Spotlight on Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel

Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort in the Heart of Columbia

Modern convenience meets vintage flair at the Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel. Housed in a beautifully restored historic building in downtown Columbia, this hotel blends elegant architecture with sleek design. You're just steps from the city’s best concert venues, museums, and nightlife, making it a top pick for music fans looking to stay close to the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location! The hotel is a quick walk or short ride to Columbia's major performance spaces, including the Colonial Life Arena and The Senate. After a late show, you’ll appreciate the 24-hour front desk and on-site concierge ready to help with late-night bites or transport. With comfy rooms and a rooftop lounge, this hotel offers a perfect post-concert wind-down spot. High marks for quiet rooms too – ideal for those who want their sleep after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a stylish base near the music scene
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
- Couples making a concert their weekend getaway
- Fans who need a peaceful place to recharge
- Budget-conscious music lovers wanting reasonable value close to downtown action

Food and Drink Options

Don’t worry about post-show cravings—grab a bite from P.O.S.H., the hotel’s full-service restaurant serving global cuisine. For later-night vibes, head up to the Rooftop Lounge for craft cocktails and city views. Room comes with a coffee maker to help with those slow mornings, and breakfast is available on-site so you can ease into your day.

Nightlife Options

Start or end your night at the Rooftop Lounge, a favorite with guests for its relaxed atmosphere and skyline views. If you’re still buzzing after the concert, downtown Columbia’s bars and lounges are just steps away. Whether you're after live music, local brews, or something low-key, it’s all walkable.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s central location, saying it’s perfect for exploring downtown Columbia on foot. The historic character of the building, combined with modern touches, gets lots of love. Reviewers also highlight the friendly staff and the rooftop bar as standout features. Many mention how convenient it is for attending events or concerts nearby.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the building’s historic charm also means the rooms can be on the smaller side, and parking isn't free. But if you're here for the concerts and nightlife, these are small trade-offs for the unbeatable location.

The Bottom Line

The Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel is a stylish, well-located base for music fans who want to stay close to Columbia’s concert action while enjoying premium comfort and a touch of historic charm.

Exceptional - 5.0 out of 5

Whitley, Maysville, visiting The Senate Columbia

Hotel was amazing; the room was clean and it felt more like a bedroom then a hotel room. The room wasn't very big but that was perfect for us. I would definitely stay again!

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Samantha, Mt Pleasant, visiting Township Auditorium

Great location, however the A/C was leaking all over the floor near the bathroom and front door. I understand it's an old building but that doesn't make up for the red and black mold growing in the shower. The blinds didn't work and there were only 6 TV channels. I would not recommend this hotel. The Marriott close by I have stayed at and I regret not booking there again.

Liked: Location.
Disliked: Leaking A/C; black and red mold in the shower.

Sandy

Liked: Everything was great thanks!
Disliked: The glass door on the bathroom. I wake up early and putting the light on in the bathroom disturbed my partner. Suggestion, maybe a curtain over the glass?

Nice Overall

Liked: Lovely staff and room and nice bar downstairs.
Disliked: Rooftop bar needs a bit of TLC, looking and feeling a bit tired. Also, unlike every single other Marriott I've stayed in, I wasn't allowed the free additional hour for a late check-out. They wanted me to pay for that hour. Apparently, it is hotel policy even though Marriott itself promotes free extra hour check out, as a member benefit. Very very disappointing to be honest, and puts me off returning when there are two other Marriott properties close by that do give you the extra hour free of charge.

I’ll stay again at a...

Liked: Location. Walking distance to a lot to do in the Downtown area. That bed was super comfy as well! Lewis at the front desk was as accommodating as he could be!!!
Disliked: No microwave in none of the rooms. Ice maker only works on floors 4&8 out of 17! Rooftop bar (which is why I wanted to stay here) was closed on Saturday due to lack of staffing! The vault bar stated that it is a restaurant but is in fact a bar that you can order food to take to a room with no microwave. The rooms are small too!
