The Hotel Indy is a well-appointed mid-century modern gem, centrally located in downtown Indianapolis. We love Indy for many reasons, one of which is it is a true walking city, and this stay was perfect for that.

The hotel greets guests with a scented and comfortable lobby. Cool tones, books, and snug couches welcome you to sit and relax during the simple check in process. Reception informs you of the restaurant and rooftop bar hours.

The room was near perfection — a red velvet chaise lounge, wide-curved headboard, and glass globe bed side lights created the 50’s-meets-modern swanky vibes. Luscious bedding was only beaten by the incredible robes in the wardrobe.

The bathrobe was heavy with a waffle exterior and thick terry inside, and matched the opulence of the bathroom. The harvest gold tiles and brushed bronze dual fixtures in the shower came quickly to temp with a hearty spray and was much appreciated after our traipse home in the cool rain.

The rooftop bar, Cannon Ball, was delightful with blue velvet seating and achieved more 50’s glam ambience. The cocktail menu looked appealing, but we sipped wine and enjoyed the view prior to walking to Mass Ave for dinner.

We parked in a public garage around the corner, saving a decent amount vs. the hotel lot.
