The Broadway Hotel is a modern boutique hotel at 1111 East Broadway in Columbia, Missouri, situated at the edge of downtown and within easy walking distance of the University of Missouri's flagship campus — the principal campus of the University of Missouri System, serving approximately 30,000 students. Columbia occupies a central position on Interstate 70 midway between St. Louis and Kansas City, functioning simultaneously as a college town, a regional commercial hub for central Missouri, and a growing independent dining and arts destination. The hotel serves as Columbia's leading boutique accommodation, appealing to university visitors, prospective students and families, academics, and leisure travelers.
The Broadway Hotel occupies a purpose-built contemporary structure with clean architectural lines and thoughtfully designed public spaces. Guest rooms span Standard King, Standard Double, and Junior Suite categories, all featuring modern furnishings, premium bedding, flat-screen televisions, and well-appointed bathrooms. A rooftop terrace provides views over downtown Columbia and the University of Missouri's historic Columns on Francis Quadrangle. Meeting spaces accommodate small corporate groups and university-related gatherings, and the hotel offers complimentary parking — an important advantage in Columbia's compact downtown during university events.
Beet Box, the hotel's signature restaurant, serves locally sourced, vegetable-forward American cuisine with a particular emphasis on Missouri farm produce, craft ingredients, and seasonal menus that change with what's available regionally. The adjacent bar and lounge draws a mix of hotel guests, university affiliates, and Columbia locals for craft beers, cocktails, and small plates. The restaurant has earned consistent recognition as one of central Missouri's more creative dining destinations.
A fitness center is available on property. The pet-friendly policy accommodates travelers arriving with dogs. Downtown Columbia's Broadway Arts District, with independent galleries, coffee shops, and boutiques, is easily walkable from the hotel's East Broadway address.
