Premium hotel expands amenities and entertainment options at ‘best-in-market property’
PENN Entertainment expects to open the new state-of-the-art hotel tower at Hollywood Casino Columbus on June 12, 2026, pending customary regulatory approvals.
The 203-room hotel represents a major expansion for Hollywood Casino Columbus, offering guests modern, upscale accommodations at the city’s premier gaming, dining and entertainment experience. The 150,000 square-foot tower will feature 183 standard rooms and 20 luxury suites, a full service bar and restaurant – The Hill Eatery & Lounge, conference rooms, fitness center and an outdoor seating terrace.
“We’re thrilled to officially announce the opening date for our new hotel at Columbus, which positions us to be the top entertainment destination in the region,” said Jay Snowden, CEO and President of PENN Entertainment. “This opening will mark our third retail development project to be completed in under a year, building on the momentum from our new casino in Joliet and second hotel tower at the M Resort.”
The new hotel will add roughly 100 new jobs to the west side of Columbus. Hollywood Casino Columbus will host job fairs for all hotel staff positions on March 27 and April 10.
The property will host grand opening celebrations on June 12, highlighted by an outdoor festival and concert.
In addition to the hotel, Hollywood Casino Columbus will also introduce an expanded high limit table games room in the second half of 2026, pending customary regulatory approvals, adding to the property’s robust offering of gaming and entertainment experiences.
The Columbus hotel tower will mark the third of PENN’s previously announced growth projects to be completed. In 2025, PENN opened an all-new land based casino in Joliet, and a new hotel tower at M Resort Spa Casino Las Vegas. PENN also expects to open the new Hollywood Casino Aurora in Illinois late in Q2 of this year, and a new land based property in Council Bluffs, Iowa is anticipated to open in late 2027 or early 2028.
