The Inn At Irwin Gardens (Adults Only) - A historic 1864 mansion with Italianate gardens and luxury suites in downtown Columbus

Located in downtown Columbus, this historic mansion-turned-boutique Columbus hotel features Italianate gardens inspired by excavations at Pompeii. The Inn At Irwin Gardens offers individually decorated rooms ranging from 180 to 850 square feet, equipped with laptop-friendly workspaces, air conditioning, and Roku TVs. The Clementine Tangeman Suite, the largest accommodation, includes a kitchenette, sun room, and garden views. The property's gardens, completed in 1913, showcase wisteria-covered pergolas, marble philosopher busts, and two turtle pond fountains. A raised terrace connects the main house to the formal gardens, where large-leaf Lindon trees line the tea house slope.
