Did you know that Columbus is actually regarded as the third most fashion-forward city in the US. The Marriott Columbus University decided to celebrate this fact when they remodeled. Throughout the interior of the hotel, including guest rooms, you’ll find textures and patterns that are reminiscent of high-end clothing and jewelry.

The architectural elements were inspired by retail displays while the clean-lined furniture adds both comfort and intelligence. Even the color scheme was drawn from men’s suit colors, of course with hints of Ohio State University scarlet throughout. And then there are the details, like the metal accents and stitching, that will remind you of what you’d find on belts and bags.

All of this attention to detail pays off in the guest rooms. You’ll be welcomed into your relaxing space by wood floors, modern furniture, a huge flat screen smart TV, and built-ins with ample space for all your luggage. Floor to ceiling windows allow for plenty of natural light.

MODA Bar & Restaurant at the Marriott Columbus
The incredible attention to detail doesn’t stop with customer service and interior design. The Marriott extends that attention to their food service options. The MODA Restaurant and Bar, located in the lobby of the hotel, stays true to the hotel’s theme. MODA literally means “fashion.” You’ll find the same kind of stunning design in the restaurant that you’ll be used to seeing everywhere else within the hotel. You’ll also love the “tailored” food and specialty cocktails. Of course, room service and a concierge lounge (one of the best in the Marriott family) is available.
