HOTEL TRUNDLE
Live Joyfully. Dream Fearlessly.
Nestled in the heart of Columbia’s Main Street District, Hotel Trundle stands as a testament to the city’s creative spirit. It is as much a showcase for local artisans as it is a celebration of authentic hospitality, beautifully curated experiences, and warm Southern welcomes. Above all, it’s a heartfelt reminder that – by design – every moment should be magical.
Meet The Preservationists
Husband and wife duo Rita Patel and Marcus Munse aren’t just the owners of Hotel Trundle; they’re guardians of history and architects of experiences. For them, Hotel Trundle is a labor of love, a convergence of their expertise in hospitality and architecture, and a tribute to the timeless allure of historical landmarks.

Rose Talbert Building 1914
Think of this brick beauty as one of Columbia’s first-ever mixed-use developments. A 1936 redesign added a stucco façade and a large second-floor tripartite window. Restored for the Hotel Trundle a near-century later in 2016, this architectural gem was given new life as one of our original buildings.
Powell Furniture Building 1920
A significant example of early 20th century architecture in downtown Columbia, the Powell Furniture Building has had a number of occupants and owners over the last nearly 100 years, including the Knights of Columbus, Kirby Electric Service Co., Sears Roebuck, and Jenkins Auto Parts.
Western Auto 1940
Anchored by long-time tenant Western Auto for 45 years, Hotel Trundle’s main entrance appears very much as it did in the 1940s, thanks to the 2016 removal of an 80s-era aluminum slipcover façade that revealed a well-preserved and intact circa 1940s downtown Columbia storefront.
Featured Experience The Suite Touch
Layer your stay with local charm with the Suite Touch, a $150 add-on featuring a chilled bottle of champagne, two keepsake Hotel Trundle wine glasses, macarons from Ally & Eloise Bakeshop, and a handcrafted bouquet of seasonal flowers from Something Special Florists, as well as parking.
