Hotel Trundle

Nestled right in the heart of Columbia’s booming Main Street Historic district, Hotel Trundle is exactly what our town has been looking for! Owned, operated, and envisioned by fellow toddler-mom Rita Patel and her husband, this place is the most delightful kind of family affair. Once you arrive, wine or local craft beer in hand (complimentary at check-in), you can walk anywhere you want to go downtown. Everything about Hotel Trundle is hyper-local, sourcing their food, treats, and coffee all from local vendors. 

At the intersection of kindness and comfort you’ll find Hotel Trundle, part community gathering spot, part urban retreat – all tucked neatly into a trio of treasured landmarks in the heart of the Main Street Historic District. Wrapped in color and creativity, our 41-room hotel – the first boutique in downtown Columbia – rewrites the rules of Southern hospitality with curated guest experiences mixed with a generous dose of 20s-era Art Deco style. – Hotel Trundle
