It's in Missouri - half way between Kansas City and St Louis.
It's the fifth-largest city in the state of Missouri and the largest city in mid-Missouri. The University of Missouri (right) is here and it is known as "The Athens of Missouri.". Columbia is one of 20 towns called Columbia in the USA.

OK, so it's not the hottest destination in the USA, but we happened to stumble across this piece int he Columbia Business Times about Columbia's Holiday Inn which reveals:

So now you know.
