Traveling To Columbus
We recommend to book your flight to arrive at John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) as it is only 8 miles from Hilton Downtown. Cheaper flights can sometimes be found going to Cincinnati and Cleveland but they are each a minimum 2 hour drive away and you will likely need to rent a car.
Lyft and Uber are the easiest way to get to the hotel from the airport and to get around downtown. CMH is just a 10 min drive from the Hilton Downtown. Renting a car is also convenient although the hotel only provides paid parking.
If you need any help arranging transportation please let us know!

Things to Eat
Try Nimit and Chandni's favorite spots in Columbus at Northstar Café or Brassica for a quick bite or stop by North Market for a variety of different cuisines. For dessert, try Jeni's or Graeter's Ice Cream (get the Raspberry Chocolate Chip)! For a late night pizza-by-the-slice, go across the street from our hotel to Mikey's Late Night Slice!
Hangout Spots
For some local breweries, check out BrewDog or Land-Grant Brewing Company. For rooftops and wine bars, try Lincoln Social, Goodale Station, or 'Plas! We also recommend checking out Hilton Downtown's rooftop, Stories on High!
