OUR CULTURE
Inspiration, Grit, + A Kindness to Hospitality
With backgrounds in architecture and passions for preservation, Rita Patel and Marcus Munse designed Hotel Trundle as a love letter to South Carolina’s capital city. A boutique hotel in the heart of Columbia’s Main Street Historic District, the hotel magnificently unites three historic buildings, each meticulously
restored to showcase the beauty of a bygone era through exposed brick, stamped tin ceiling tiles, deep moldings, and custom wood trim. Here, you can escape the hubbub of modern times and discover the unique beauty of the past, all while still indulging in plenty of contemporary comforts.
Columbia, curated
“We live, play and work here - we love Columbia - and we want to support this city, to create a platform for community and provide thoughtfully curated experiences for locals and visitors.”
