Groups & Tours

Tucked into the heart of downtown Ashland, The Columbia Hotel offers something rare for groups: a stay that feels personal, flexible, and completely unlike a standard chain experience. With our intimate size, we’re perfectly suited for friend reunions, corporate retreats, Oregon Shakespeare Festival trips, biking crews, and creative gatherings who want to be together — without being swallowed by a massive property.

Because we’re small, we’re nimble. We can tailor room assignments, coordinate early check-ins when possible, help with local recommendations, and create shared spaces that actually feel communal. Groups often love that they can book multiple rooms and essentially “take over” the hotel, making it their own home base for the weekend.

Our downtown location means you can walk to restaurants, cafés, galleries, Lithia Park, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival theaters in minutes. Biking groups appreciate easy access to regional trails, while retreat organizers value the ability to move seamlessly between meetings, meals, and entertainment without transportation logistics.

Each room is uniquely designed by local artists, creating built-in conversation starters and a distinctly Ashland experience. At The Columbia, groups don’t just stay together — they connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories in a setting that feels both historic and creatively alive.
