Few skyscrapers in the American Midwest carry the symbolic weight of the LeVeque Tower. Completed in 1927 to designs by C. Howard Crane and his associate Kenneth Franzheim, the 47-story Gothic-Art Deco shaft dominated the Columbus skyline for decades and remains one of the most ornate towers of its era anywhere in the country — its limestone crown, copper-patinated turrets, and carved stone eagles visible from nearly every approach to downtown. Hotel LeVeque, which arrived in 2017 when Autograph Collection converted the building's lower floors into a 148-room hotel, had the considerable task of translating that architectural gravity into livable interiors without either smothering it in nostalgia or ignoring it entirely. The lobby answers that challenge with confidence: original Rosso Levanto marble columns, deep burgundy and white-veined, anchor a double-height atrium where a branching brass chandelier introduces a contemporary geometry against restored Art Deco grillework balustrades. Guest rooms take a lighter touch — charcoal velvet headboards, satin-gold baroque mirror frames, mustard shell chairs, and sputnik-style ceiling fixtures in chrome create a dialogue between thirties glamour and mid-century wit, zebra-print cushions supplying just enough irreverence to keep the rooms from tipping into period pastiche. The restaurant, by contrast, strips back to raw plaster walls, reclaimed timber, and riveted steel counter surfaces — a rougher, more industrial register that lets the tower's bones speak without ornament.
