About us

Treat yourself to an unforgettable stay in Columbia. When you’re planning a romantic getaway or heading to the South for a business trip, the award-winning Cambria® Hotel Columbia Downtown the Vista in Columbia, SC, is a perfect place to stay. Our modern hotel is in the heart of Vista, Columbia’s premiere arts and entertainment district. Popular downtown attractions are just minutes away, and you’ll be walking distance from the South Carolina State House, Riverfront Park, Colonial Life Arena and the Columbia Museum of Art. Located in Downtown Columbia, the Cambria hotel is designed to capture the charm of the region while featuring upscale amenities that let guests make the most of their stay. Relax or work in our indoor and outdoor spaces. Enjoy a workout in the state-of-the-art fitness center. Or, try a local craft beer at our bar, which features local artwork that celebrates the city’s rich history. Take advantage of free WiFi and a meeting space that is customizable for a wide variety of events. Our location is convenient for business travelers since we’re less than 20 minutes from Columbia Metropolitan Airport and a short drive from the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center and the University of South Carolina. Vacationing here is a breeze, with quick access to numerous lakes and state parks, restaurants, as well as museums and historic landmarks. While our hotel's features and amenities are an integral part of our guest experience, our team's professionalism and genuine hospitality are the real difference. Here's a review from a recent client: "Having planned and executed many off-site meetings for our company, I can say it was such a surprise and delight to plan our latest sales training with Sarah and team at Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista. The attention to detail, the execution from start to finish, and the accommodations made for our company are just a few of the reasons we will be back for future trainings/meetings. In addition to the incredibly professional/friendly staff, the location of the hotel was perfect for walking to a variety of restaurants and activities. But, should you want to stay in, the hotel’s full service restaurant (breakfast and dinner) and bar are an added benefit. We look forward to our next planning event with Sarah, Jordan, Fran and team!" - Leslie, Corporate Client - April 2023
