The Lantern Hotel
A STAY THAT
MEANS SOMETHING
Housed within a historic Columbia landmark at the heart of the Vista, The Lantern pairs boutique comfort with elevated service, where every stay and every guest becomes part of something greater. We proudly train and employ individuals with disabilities, equipping them with meaningful skills and growth opportunities in hospitality. Through inclusive mentorship and hands-on experience, we deliver exceptional service and inspire lasting community impact.
Boutique comfort and contemporary style show their cozier side inside our 59 thoughtfully designed rooms. Clean lines, calming tones, and custom details craft a sophisticated space to unwind.
WHERE THE FIRE STILL BURNS
Set in the historic framework of the original firehouse, Ladder 13 serves Mediterranean-inspired fare and spirited cocktails. A destination in its own right, those in the know gather, linger, and taste something remarkable.
SPACE FOR
WHAT MATTERS
Our private boardroom and cozy lounge spaces keep you productive. From top-level board meetings to creative brainstorms, our flexible event space is built for connection.
A ROOM
WITH A VISTA
No car, no commute. Just pure proximity to where you want to be. The Lantern offers walkable access to USC, the State Capitol, and the best of Columbia’s dining, arts, and entertainment in the Vista District.
