Inside 43215: Downtown Lifestyles
WHAT EXACTLY?
What exactly do you love about me?
Isn’t that always the question? It’s nice to be loved, but it’s nicer to know precisely what is so lovable about… downtown Columbus.
Who better to assess the lovable features of our downtown than hotel execs? They get to see the city through the eyes of visitors from far-flung regions of the nation. It lends a certain amount of objectivity to the perspective.
Leave it to the folks at Hyatt on Capitol Square to set the standard. Reviewers at Priceline and Zagat place the hotel in the local top tenth percentile. It’s n-i-c-e. Bruce Flyer spent several years as the General Manager there before the corporation moved him up to Canada. What does he miss the most about life here in the capital? He says, “The biggest thing we miss is the small-town feeling you get while living in a big city.” Columbus feels like home.
Intriguingly, the new Hyatt GM, Nancy Dudak, is already making similar observations about us. She says, “The sense of neighborhood and neighborliness” is an amazing thing about the area… and her last stint was in the home of southern hospitality – Atlanta, Georgia.
As for the Hyatt’s guests, they’re pretty happy too. A peek at the ratings and reviews shows high marks for the fitness room, great staff and stunning views.
Naturally, the view is stunning: It’s downtown!
