Beautiful and modern luxury in the heart of downtown Columbus. The rooms are updated with rainfall showers, square fixtures and an amazingly comfortable bed. Walking distance to the arena and other downtown locations. The breakfast bar was very upscale (prosciutto, turkey sausage, oat milk, etc) but also down to earth (cereal, toast, juice). We weren't able to eat at the hotel restaurant but there were so many choices within walking distance. Overall, a great place to stay.
The whole area was just amazing. The hotel was welcoming, clean, and the staff was very nice and helpful. Valet was also on their game. My husband and I came for the Zara Larsson concert and Kemba Live was only an 11 min walk from the hotel. A liquor store and dispensary were with in 2 min walk from the hotel as well. Great area I definitely recommend staying.

Overall, it’s a nice hotel with friendly staff and good customer service.
The restaurant on top is great! Make sure to book a reservation. Great local close to the Short North area. Also right across the street from the North Market
My only suggestion is to request a room opposite of the highway side (rt 71). It’s loud at night with the highway
Very nice room and bathroom. Staff was friendly, valet parking was a bonus. Great location. Astra bar restaurant was really cool. Only down was no morning coffee option besides keurig.
Our stay was amazing! The staff was super friendly and everything was clean and fresh.

Lovely hotel and room. Would definitely stay again - next time in warmer weather to take advantage of the beautiful Astra rooftop bar. Was greeted with a beautiful sunrise from our “view” room. Fun area with restaurants and a park.
The room was smaller than I thought it would be but very nice. What I didn’t like is that if you are in the 7th floor, people in the restaurant (8th floor) play music loud and move tables at 6am to wake you up.
Me and hubby enjoyed our stay. The staff is friendly and the rooms are very clean. I’ve never heard of AC Hotel. Glad we found it! The hotel is located in downtown Columbus. Will definitely stay there again.
