New Downtown Columbus 12 Story Hilton Garden Inn Proposed

 In Columbus, Commercial, development, net lease, nnn, Ohio

If we decide that we really do want convention business in Columbus we must do something about the lack of hotel rooms within walking distance of the convention center. Although not nearly enough, the newly announced 12 story 170 room Hilton Garden Inn to be constructed at 77 East Nationwide Blvd. is a help.

Columbus at the very least needs to catch up with Indianapolis and Pittsburgh. We really need a 1,000 room full service luxury hotel as part of the convention center and we need it soon. I don’t know where it would go, but better minds than mine can figure that out.

David Patel of Indus Hotels announced last week that he’s taking his Hilton Garden Inn proposal before the downtown commission on Tuesday and I wish him lots of luck. Indus also owns and operates the Hampton Inn nearby at 501 North High Street . If approved, and I expect it to be, completion will take approximately 15 – 18 months.
