Location


The Hyatt is located 5 blocks from the State Capitol and is connected, via a pedestrian walkway, to the south end of the Columbus Convention Center.


Transportation


The hotel does not have a complimentary shuttle but they recommend using Arch Transportation. The cost is $16 one-way to the hotel but may be discounted for groups arriving at the same time. Reservations (although they are not required upon arrival at the airport) can be made by calling (614) 252-2277 or by using the courtesy phone in the baggage claim area. Taxicabs are available at all times with an average fare of $14/one-way.


Parking


Valet parking is available at the Hyatt for $21/night and $18/day including in/out privileges. Self-parking is available at many city-owned parking lots within walking distance to the hotel, the two closest being those at Chestnut Street and the Convention Center lot located beneath the hotel. The cost for each lot is determined through an hourly rate starting at $4.50 for the first hour up to a daily rate of $12/day including in/out privileges. The Chestnut Street garage, however, is the only lot that guests may bill their parking charges to their hotel room. Vouchers may be picked up at the Hyatt Regency front desk.
