Columbus offers a wonderful variety of lodging accommodations in all price ranges from luxurious international hotels to rustic park lodges just a short drive away. Franklin County offers more than 15,000 hotel and motel rooms with 2500 located in the heart of the central business district.

If you want to provide diversions for your meeting attendees or their families, Columbus will not disappoint you. The city is well known for its historic districts, world class zoo (rated #1 Zoo in the nation), performing  arts, restaurants, night clubs and sporting events - something for every age group. The city has one of the cleanest, friendliest environments you will ever have the pleasure of visiting. Veterans Memorial, Franklin County and the City of Columbus stand ready to roll out the red carpet for groups large and small and will do whatever it takes to make your visit rewarding and successful.

These are just a few of the reasons why so many meeting planners and show managers come to Columbus and Veterans Memorial year after year.
