The Sheraton Indianapolis Hotel at Keystone Crossing offers a very different Indianapolis from the downtown hotels: a suburban, shopping-and-dining base on the north side, with free-flowing roads and much lower parking costs. It has 395 rooms at 8787 Keystone Crossing, and its most distinctive feature is a covered skywalk that connects it to the Fashion Mall at Keystone, so you can shop and eat without stepping outside. The Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Chang's are about a six-minute walk. The hotel has an indoor heated pool with an adjacent hot tub, a 24-hour fitness center, Keystone Cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner including kids' meals, a coffee shop, a bar or lounge and a snack bar and deli. That facilities list makes it a sensible choice for families, shoppers and travelers who prefer to drive. Self-parking is a modest daily charge compared with downtown, though height limits apply. The trade-off is distance: Gainbridge Fieldhouse is about 23 minutes by car, Lucas Oil Stadium about 25 and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway about 26, so you will need a car or rideshare for every major sight. Choose it if you want pool time, easy parking and a shopping district at your door more than a walk to Monument Circle.
Location and getting around
Keystone Crossing sits north of downtown, close to the Fashion Mall at Keystone, and it is best for travelers who plan to drive. The airport is around 35 minutes by car, and Newfields and The Children's Museum are on the north side of the city, so they are much closer to this hotel than to the downtown hotels. For the Speedway and the downtown sights, allow about half an hour each way.
Rooms and who it suits
The hotel suits families who want an indoor pool, shoppers, business travelers visiting nearby offices and drivers who want low-cost parking. If your itinerary leans toward Newfields, the Children's Museum and Conner Prairie rather than downtown nightlife, the north side is a practical base. Couples who want to be out on Mass Ave in the evening will be better served downtown.
Good to know
Check-in begins at 3pm and check-out is before noon, with late check-out available for a fee subject to availability. The minimum check-in age is 21. Self-parking is charged per day, with valet costing more and with in and out privileges. Rates are usually lower than downtown, particularly on Colts and convention weekends, so it can be a good value if you are happy to drive.
