The Spotlight on Sonesta Columbus Downtown

Stylish Stay Steps from the Action in Downtown Columbus


Modern and welcoming, Sonesta Columbus Downtown puts you right in the heart of the city. With a sleek design and cozy shared spaces like a garden terrace and lounge, this hotel is a favorite for travelers looking for comfort and convenience. You're less than a 15-minute walk from major entertainment venues, making it a perfect home base for a music-filled night out.

Why Concert-goers love it


Concert fans can’t get enough of the location—just a quick walk to Ohio Theater and other downtown venues. After the show, it’s easy to stroll back to your room without worrying about late-night transport. The 24-hour front desk adds peace of mind for late arrivals, and the hotel’s stylish yet relaxed vibe makes it a great place to wind down post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends heading to a show together
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime tour
  • Couples making a weekend of music and city exploring
  • Fans craving a calm, stylish spot to recharge after a high-energy night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting great value downtown

Food and Drink Options


The on-site restaurant and bar serve up tasty bites and cocktails, ideal for a pre-show dinner or nightcap. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the downtown location means plenty of late-night dining options are walkable. Need a chill morning after the concert? Grab breakfast on-site or at nearby cafés.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself offers a laid-back bar atmosphere, you’re minutes away from some of Columbus’s best bars, lounges, and live music spots. Whether you’re in the mood for a craft beer or a DJ set, you won’t have to go far.

What People Say


Guests rave about the excellent location, praising how easy it is to reach downtown venues on foot. The clean, modern rooms and friendly staff also get high marks. Many mention the peaceful in-room atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a concert.

Areas for Improvement


Parking is available, but some guests find the private parking fees a bit steep. Also, while the hotel has a restaurant, options can be limited late at night—so plan ahead after your show.

The Bottom Line


Sonesta Columbus Downtown is a stylish, centrally located choice that gives concert-goers everything they need: walkability, comfort, and a stress-free stay near the city's top music venues.

It was very nice and clean. It was within walking distance to everything but had a complimentary shuttle if you didn't want to walk.

John G, Nashville, NC

Gorgeous place! Staff was very helpful - even guided me in on the phone when my GPS didn't work. Clean room, comfortable bed, alarm clock slightly difficult to figure out. Nice fitness room. Parking deck accessible by closed walkway is a plus. Located right next to very cool arts/shopping/restaurant district.

Liked: Highly recommended.
Disliked: Nothing bad to say at all.

Emily M, Huntington, WV

The staff was knowledgable and the location was great. It was right where we needed to be. And I felt safe staying there. I wish they would've had parking available without extra cost since I paid for a nice room at a nice hotel. We parked in a garage on the next block because it was cheaper than the valet.
