HOTEL INDY
Individuality and Community Come Together
Hotel Indy, a Marriott Tribute Portfolio property, opened in 2021 and is located in the Wholesale District of downtown Indianapolis. Close to the Indiana Convention Center, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and Monument Circle, this modern hotel is part of 6 Brutalist group hotels across the world.
Built in 1969, KennMar acquired the property in 2018 with the intent of redeveloping the outdated office building that was once home to State Life Insurance Co. As part of the redevelopment plan, KennMar partnered with national and international hospitality companies and an Indianapolis architecture firm to create an elegant 90-room boutique hotel, with a rooftop bar, private dining room, and state-of-the-art business-use spaces.
Today, the hotel offers sophisticated rooms and suites with modern amenities and furnishings. The floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the vibrant scenes of downtown Indianapolis. The rounded corners, soft features, and beautiful furniture invite guests into a peaceful sanctuary.
