Luxury Hotel
The Junto is a 198-room independent lifestyle hotel in the Franklinton neighborhood of downtown Columbus, Ohio, operated by Makeready. Located at 77 Belle Street across from COSI and the Scioto River, it was named Midwest Living's 2026 Hotel of the Year.
The hotel takes its name from Benjamin Franklin's club for mutual improvement, and the idea carries through: a lobby library, the Trade Room lounge with live music and talks, and the Gear Garage, where guests borrow e-bikes, cruiser bikes, longboards, and cameras at no charge.
Rooms and suites feature smart TVs with streaming, in-room coffee, and window benches. On site: Little West Tavern for wood-hearth dining, Brass Eye rooftop bar, Maudine's coffee shop, a 24-hour fitness center, valet parking, and more than 13,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor event space.
