Palace Theatre is more than a theatre—it’s a restored 1926 “movie palace” that brings classic downtown grandeur to modern live events. Designed by noted theatre architect Thomas W. Lamb, the venue is celebrated for its ornate, Versailles-inspired atmosphere, making it a standout home for touring shows, concerts, and special performances that deserve a truly cinematic setting.
Inside, the experience leans into timeless elegance: dramatic décor, a grand staircase feel, and an auditorium built to flatter both voice and music with pleasing acoustics and strong sightlines. That combination is exactly why Palace Theatre remains a favorite when you want the venue itself to feel like part of the show.
You’ll find it right in the heart of downtown, beside the LeVeque Tower, at 34 W Broad St, Columbus, United States (between High and Front Streets). For a smooth arrival at the entrance, rideshare drop-offs typically use Broad St near the marquee, and nearby garages—such as Columbus Commons or the Statehouse Parking Garage—are popular options for quick walk-up access.
