The property sits near the Greater Columbus Convention Center and arena district and is a 15-minute drive from the Port Columbus International Airport.

“This exchange represents a meaningful segment of the available hotel room inventory in downtown Columbus,” said Rich Conti, senior managing director of The Plasencia Group, in prepared remarks. “The new owners will benefit from entering a flourishing market with recently renovated, high quality properties with significant upside potential.”

According to Chris Plasencia, vice president of The Plasencia Group, both properties will continue to benefit from the Columbus market’s diversified economy. “In particular, the energy and industry catalyzed by both the state capital and Ohio State University have historically allowed Columbus to weather any economic downturn,” Plasencia added.
