Amenity highlights: The city’s beautifully restored Southern Theater, home to the Columbus Jazz Orchestra and Columbus Light Opera, is a part of the original building and can be accessed through the hotel’s lobby. Thurber’s Bar, adjacent to the lobby, houses art prints created by former hotel resident James Thurber, author, cartoonist, and humorist.
