Lofty Expectations

The Aloft Columbus Westerville Hotel boasts an enticing aesthetic, lively social spaces and much more

The decor at the Aloft Columbus Westerville Hotel may be minimalist, but don’t let that fool you: This sleek accommodation is packed with attractions, and located nearby Uptown Westerville.

The 101-room hotel, which opened in early 2018, is located along Westerville’s southern gateway, at 32 Heatherdown Dr. The hotel, situated on a 2.6 acre parcel of land, is one of the first sights of the city that many visitors catch, and that’s definitely not a bad thing.

Lovers of the arts and the fashionforward will feel right at home in the chic new hotel, which boasts a refined, and totally comprehensive, look and feel. The polished aesthetic visible from a quick glance at its exterior–complete with a handful of bright blue neon streaks across its facade–are cohesively carried throughout the hotel.

Bold colors, eye-grabbing patterns and a host of unique textures bring the hotel’s minimalist charm together, alongside the addition of truly unusual (and weirdly wonderful) shelving systems and bookcases.

The sleek Aloft Columbus Westerville is more than just a pretty face, however.

The south Westerville hotel also features a fitness center, free coffee and tea, plenty of kid-friendly activities and sustainable amenities. This comes in addition to its luxurious indoor pool, which is heated and complemented by beautiful wooden cross beams on the ceiling and horizontal wood paneling.

When all that swimming works up an appetite, head down to the swanky WXYZ Bar, which features a lively spot for cocktails, wine and beer alongside a variety of snacks. And while you’re likely there grabbing a nightcap or nursing a few craft cocktails, you can also enjoy the unexpectedly vivacious atmosphere the bar boasts.

This is in large part due to the music. The hotel hosts a wide variety of live performances from talented local and national musicians. What’s more, these evenings (which you can keep up with on the hotel’s social media pages) are free to attend, and welcome to locals, meaning you can rub elbows with residents and other hotel guests alike.

Premium movie channels can boost your experience if you choose to stick around the room, and the Aloft Columbus Westerville’s location, just a short drive from hubs like Easton Town Center, Polaris Fashion Place and Downtown Columbus, mean the entire Columbus area is at your fingertips as well.
