12-story luxury hotel in Hilton chain planned for Downtown

Downtown Columbus’ newest hotel will be a 12-story, upscale building in the Hilton chain. The Downtown Commission today approved plans for a new Canopy by Hilton hotel at 77 E. Nationwide Blvd. The 168-room hotel will replace a two-story HER real estate building and feature a rooftop bar. The new hotel, which will cost $36 million to $40 million, will be sandwiched in between the Lofts and the Crowne Plaza hotels.
