Introducing
COLUMBIA'S HANDCRAFTED HOTEL
At the intersection of kindness and comfort, you’ll find the exquisite Hotel Trundle, a quintessentially Columbia retreat thanks to the support of our incredible local artists, craftspeople, and business owners combined with the perfect location centered in the heart of the Main Street District.
Wrapped in color, creativity, and charm, our 41-room jewel resides inside of three historic buildings combined into one – the first of its kind in all of Downtown Columbia. We have rewritten the rules of Southern Hospitality with a unique blend of curated guest experiences and services, good old fashion thoughtfulness, and an eclectic, 20s-era Art Deco style.

The built environment A Trio of Historic Buildings
Rose Talbert Building
1914
Think of this brick beauty as one of Columbia’s first mixed-use developments, with first floor office space and apartments above. A 1936 redesign added a stucco façade and large 2nd floor tripartite window, setting the stage for 41-year tenant Rose-Talbert Paints. By the 1980s, an aluminum façade obscured the trademark stucco but, once removed in 2016, this architectural gem sparkled like new.
Powell Furniture Building
1920
A significant example of early 20th century architecture in downtown Columbia, the Powell Furniture Building has had a number of occupants and owners over the last nearly 100 years, including the Knights of Columbus, Kirby Electric Service Co., Sears Roebuck, and Jenkins Auto Parts.
Western Auto Building
1940
Anchored by long-time tenant Western Auto for 45 years, Hotel Trundle’s main entrance appears very much as it did in the 1940s, thanks to the 2016 removal of an 80s-era aluminum slipcover façade that revealed a well-preserved and intact circa 1940s downtown Columbia storefront.

Staycation Exceeded Our Expectations!
“My wife and I decided to do a Staycation for our anniversary. Hotel Trundle exceeded our expectations. It was quite unique in that it feels historically preserved and modern at the same time. Even though we were essentially home we felt like we were hundreds of miles away.”-Terry Taylor
