Conrad Indianapolis is the city's polished splurge, a modern tower at 50 West Washington Street in the middle of downtown, across from the Circle Centre shopping area and a few minutes' walk from Monument Circle. It has 247 rooms and suites, every one with a city view, and the style is quietly luxurious rather than flashy, with generous bathrooms and the kind of service that business travellers and couples on a special weekend both appreciate. The big draw is Conrad Spa Indianapolis, which the hotel describes as the only hotel spa downtown with full facility access included in every booking, so you can use the spa facilities, the steam room and the fitness room without paying extra. Dining is anchored by The Capital Grille, the classic steakhouse for dry-aged steaks and seafood, with The Lounge for drinks and lighter bites and in-room dining around the clock. The larger Collection Suites suit families or anyone who wants room to spread out, and the hotel offers pet-friendly options for travellers with a dog.
Location and getting around: West Washington Street is the spine of downtown, so nearly everything in this guide is close by. Monument Circle and the walking and ghost tours start within a few blocks, the Indiana State Museum and the zoo in White River State Park are a twenty-minute walk west, and Mass Ave is a fifteen-minute walk northeast. Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Lucas Oil Stadium and the convention center are all within walking distance. For the Speedway, The Children's Museum or Newfields, take a taxi or rideshare.
Rooms and who it suits: every room has a city view, and the suites add separate living space. The Conrad suits couples marking an occasion, business travellers who want the best address downtown, and anyone who will make use of the included spa. Families can book the larger suites.
Good to know: check-in is at 3pm and check-out at noon, later than many hotels. Valet parking is available, and the hotel sells a Valet and Stay package that bundles it into the rate, so compare that with paying separately if you are driving. Rates are among the highest in the city and climb sharply on big convention and Colts or Pacers game weekends.
