We are still about six months out from being able to provide official renderings of the property, as a developer will have to be chosen once final approval goes through, but the renderings included with this post are meant to give an idea of where the new tower will be placed. The current design calls for a new 22-story tower to be built adjacent to the GCCC, across from the existing Hilton Columbus Downtown. Coupled with the recent $140 million renovation and expansion of the GCCC, we are excited for what the future holds with the announcement of this enhancement. We understand that a single convention hotel property with at least 1,000 rooms connected to the GCCC is crucial for larger national and international meetings and conventions to bring their events here. The concept still requires approval by the city and the county, but Columbus is committed to investing in it’s future as a top city for meetings, conventions and trade shows. of meeting space are also included in the plans. Last week, a 470-room expansion was announced for the Hilton Columbus Downtown, a headquarter hotel of the GCCC, which will bring the total number of convention rooms on the property to 1,002. We’ve heard you, we’ve sympathized with you, we’ve worked hard to find a solution and we are pleased that we finally have one to offer. For years, one of the main pieces of feedback we’ve heard from you - our clients, friends and meeting planning colleagues - is that Columbus needs a single, 1,000-room hotel connected to the Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC).
