The center of Columbus is where it all takes place, from Commerce and Government to Conventions and Events, and it is all just outside the Crowne Plaza Hotel - Columbus Downtown. From the excitement of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Columbus Destroyers to thunderous applause from big-name performers, Nationwide Arena is the jewel in the crown of downtown Columbus' Arena District. Wander down cobbled streets to a trendy restaurant or a casual cafe. Stop into a local pub for a taste of the native brew. Take in a concert at the one-of-a-kind The LC (formerly PromoWest Pavilion) and Nationwide Arena, or sit back and enjoy a movie at the Arena Grand Theatre. Just a few blocks more and you're where the creative spirits live. Short North and The Ohio State University districts are pulsing with energy. Crowne Plaza Hotel - Columbus Downtown is in the Center of it all!
