About

The Hilton Columbia Center is located in the heart of the historic Congaree Vista District, just steps away from dozens of restaurants, museums, art galleries and boutique shops. While in the heart of the city, be sure to indulge in Columbia’s Famously Hot nightlife and cool off with a canoe or kayaking trip down the Congaree River.

Our state-of-the-art meeting space boasts 6,000 square feet, and was recently renovated with a fresh modern design in summer 2018. This space is great for rehearsal dinners, luncheons, wedding ceremonies, and receptions! All facilities offer secure wireless networks and many more great amenities.

The Palmetto State Ballroom, our largest ballroom, can comfortably sit a seated capacity around 200 people. The ballroom can be broken up into 4 different spaces to accommodate a variety of functions.

The Yellow Jessamine & Carolina Wren Ballroom, our smaller ballroom, can comfortably sit a seated capacity of 80 people. Tucked away from the main pre-function area, this space offers privacy and intimacy for rehearsal dinners and special events.

Parking is available to all of our guests at the city owned garage connected to the Hilton Columbia Center. Your guests may experience overnight valet parking for $24.00 per day or self-parking for $14.00 per day. The parking garage is easily accessible from Park Street or Pendleton Street.
