Situated in downtown Indianapolis as the centerpiece of the celebrated CityWay development and at the doorstep of the city’s professional sports venues and top entertainment sites, the 209-room LEED Silver hotel features 157 deluxe guest rooms and 52 extended-stay suites; two distinctive food and beverage outlets, including the Jorge Pardo-designed Plat 99 Coffee + Cocktails; and 16,500 square feet of flexible meeting and event space.
