Hartman Hotel
The Hartman Hotel is a six-story building in downtown Columbus designed in the neoclassical style with tall columns and symmetrical features. The structure, designed by the firm Kremer and Hart, includes a grand marble foyer, mahogany ceilings, steel beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior with light.
The building was completed in 1898 as the headquarters of the Pe-Ru-Na Company owned by Samuel Hartman before becoming a hotel in 1902. Following Hartman's death in 1918, it served as the governor's residence and later housed state offices before undergoing renovation in 1999 and conversion to condominiums between 2005 and 2008.
The building takes its name from Samuel Hartman, a wealthy businessman whose legacy shaped the structure's role in the city. It served as a gathering place for social events and important civic meetings that marked Columbus's development.
The building sits near Columbus Commons Park, just a block away, which hosts events and concerts throughout the year. The location offers easy access to shops, cafes, theaters, and entertainment venues that are all within walking distance.
Each residential unit in the lofts was converted from a former hotel room, giving each space a distinct layout with some around 55 square meters and others larger. This detail preserves the individual history of each room and makes living here a singular experience.
