Columbus, OH, November 4, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Downtown Columbus’ highly anticipated new hotel, Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph will officially open in January 2015 in the city's vibrant Short North Arts District.

Named the No. 3 fashion capital in the U.S., Columbus is headquarters for a long list of the leading international fashion brands, including The Limited, Victoria's Secret, DSW and others. Two distinctive arts neighborhoods, The Short North Arts District, and the newly emerging Franklinton, are flourishing hubs for arts- and fashion-related commerce, design and creation. Dozens of thriving galleries and revered arts institutions such as The Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus Museum of Art and Franklin Park Conservatory add to the city's artistic pulse.
Within this inspired community, The Joseph's many features will shine. They include:
1. Two-story, amenity-packed lobby: Le Méridien Hub
2. 135 stylish guestrooms
3. 10 Executive Suites
4. Two lavish Spa Suites

The Guild House menu features locally-sourced, artisan cuisine, teamed with exceptional craft cocktails and the finest wines from around the world.
Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph anchors the new mixed-use Joseph complex, which includes a six-story office building with 60,000 square feet of premium office and retail space, a 313-space parking garage and the Pizzuti Collection.
