The holidays are almost here, and if you’re hosting out of town guests in Columbia, but aren’t sure where to take them or what sights to see, we’ve got plenty of recommendations for you to build the perfect itinerary for your visitors. 
A glimpse inside the lobby of Hotel Trundle | Image via @raytay_17 🏨 Stay Chesnut Cottage Bed & Breakfast, 1718 Hampton St. | $188+ This historic bed and breakfast was built in the 1850s and is located near the State House, Five Points, and Bull Street District.
Fun fact — When downtown Columbia was set on fire during the Civil War, the blaze stopped just four blocks before it reached the cottage.
Graduate Columbia, 1619 Pendleton St. | $305+ If you have some Tigers in town, send them to this hotel to experience the beauty + charm of UofSC. Just steps away from campus, this spot will make anyone feel like a Gamecock.
Hotel Trundle, 1224 Taylor St. | $264+ Stay in the heart of the Main Street District in Columbia’s first boutique hotel.
Fun fact — the owners renovated a trio of historic buildings to create this one-of-a-kind business. 
The postcard mural in the heart of Five Points | Photo by COLAtoday 👓 Sightseeing Is it even a trip to Columbia without seeing the State House? You can also take your guests to the Five Points Postcard mural for the perfect family photo. If you’ve got any music lovers in the group, head down the street to the Hootie & the Blowfish Monument — the 1990s pop rock band played their first shows in nearby bars.
🍲 Food + Bev If your guests need coffee to get going in the morning, but you’re not exactly a barista — Drip, Piecewise, and the Hideout in WeCo are all offering a range of seasonal drinks. For a full list, check out our coffee guide.
