Elestrals Columbus Open 2026
NOVEMBER 6TH - 8TH
Ohio Event Center & Cherry Valley Hotel
The Columbus Open is right next door, and so is your bed.
Cherry Valley Hotel sits directly on-site with the Ohio Event Center, so there's no shuttle, no rideshare, no rushing to make round one.
Once the last match wraps up? The fun doesn't have to. With Trade Night and the after party running Friday and Saturday, home is just a walk away, no ride needed when the night runs late.
Beyond the perfect location, Cherry Valley offers everything you need to recharge between rounds, comfortable rooms and beautiful garden grounds to unwind in.
Book your stay, and we'll have a little something extra waiting for you at check-in! Stay tuned for details.
Hotel rooms are only available to Columbus Open Badge holders.
