Savvy travelers visiting Ohio State University have discovered an elegant alternative to campus-adjacent accommodations: The Lincoln Short North Bed & Breakfast, positioned two miles from campus in Columbus's most sophisticated urban district.
This thoughtful accomodation proves strategic. Parents arriving for graduation weekends or prospective student tours appreciate the property's tranquil residential setting, far removed from game day traffic congestion yet close enough for effortless campus access. The short drive to Ohio Stadium or Schottenstein Center becomes an opportunity to preview Columbus's diverse neighborhoods.
The 1917 Italianate structure at 50 E Lincoln Street offers eight meticulously appointed suites where original architectural details complement contemporary comforts. Imagine settling into your private quarters after a day of campus tours, then walking to chef-driven restaurants showcasing Columbus's nationally recognized culinary scene—a welcome contrast to predictable hotel dining rooms.
Morning routines begin with house-made breakfast featuring seasonal ingredients sourced from Central Ohio producers. The unhurried pace allows meaningful conversation before heading to campus appointments or stadium gates.
The Short North location delivers cultural context often missing from strictly functional campus hotels. Galleries, independent bookshops, craft cocktails all within a few steps.
The Lincoln offers some suites that can accomodate an extra bed for your student or other travelers, plus additional breakfast guests can be added on to your reservation with proper notice.
