I met with Jillian's a couple weeks ago and was treated to lunch. Do you know Jillian's? It's that restaurant/bar/club/bowling alley/billiards room/arcade entertainment venue in downtown Indianapolis just a few blocks from the Hilton Garden Inn. The food was delicious! I had a chicken pasta dish and sweet tea. Just a heads up, if you haven't eaten there, you should really take the time to check it out. Their menu is varied and my contact recommends just about everything!
During my meeting, we discussed an idea to set up a new Indianapolis hotel package for all you guests out there. It will partner our downtown Indy hotel with entertainment and gift certificate from Jillian's to keep you occupied while there. Another hotel deal I'm working on is with the Indiana Repertory Theatre, or IRT. Stay and see a play, experience the Indy arts scene. Keep your eyes peeled for a couple new packages coming this August!
Don't forget about our other packages we're always selling. Our hotel packages are a great way to find a discount hotel room in Indianapolis paired with great goodies from local businesses or from our hotel.
Indianapolis Zoo Package
Circle Centre Shopping Package
Wine Lovers Package and
Romance Package
Just go to our website and check availability for your preferred staycation date and see which one fits you best!

Tell me if this sounds good. A beautiful guest room with 14' ceilings, cozy beds and some great downtown (and even Monument Circle) views on the chilly night after Thanksgiving. A great buffet with a variety of appetizers, entrees and desserts for your snacking pleasure. Hot chocolate, coffee and two free "adult beverages" at a private bar!
But wait...there's more! Live music, kids' entertainment like balloon artists, cookie decorating and even a special appearance by two beloved guests! Thanks to WFYI, Clifford, the Big Red Dog, will be here to take pictures with the kids and Santa Claus will be here for photo ops, too! If you're like me and don't like to fight the crowd outside to see the tree light up, you're in luck. Your Indianapolis hotel accommodations happen to be located just 1/2 block from the Monument! You can step outside the front door right onto Market Street, see the tree light up, bathe in the lights, then come right back inside for dessert and hot chocolate!
But wait...there's even more! You'll also have breakfast for two the next morning in the hotel's Great American Grill! A Full American breakfast buffet will be served from 7am until 12noon. On demand waffles, pancakes, French toast and fresh, cooked to order omelets are at your watering lips! I guess I'll tell you how you to get this special deal. All you have to do is visit our website, choose November 27 for your date of stay, then type in Group Code LIGHT9. You will receive a discount hotel rate for all the holiday goodness mentioned above. If you want to talk to a real person, though, you can always call up our Guest Service Reps at 317.955.9700 and ask for the Tree Lighting rate!
Well, what are you waiting for?
Things are heating up in Indianapolis! Our General Manager, Mike Campbell and our Director of Sales, Christian decided to help a very important client stay cool in the summer heat. Last Friday they took an ice cream cart full of cold treats. They even dressed for the occasion in the old time Good Humor uniform. To say the least…our clients were thrilled! The team at the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Downtown loves having fun and we are not afraid to think outside of the box. Great job guys!
Has it been a long day at work? Need something refreshing? Come to the American Grill and check out our new drink menu. We offer amazing selection of wines and an array of specialty martinis. How does a Dreamsicle sound, or a Raspberry Truffle? Yes, these are martinis. You don't want to drink on an empty stomach so ask for our new dinner menu. Our culinary staff is here to service you. Come in between now and September 30, 2009 and mention our blog to receive a 10% discount.
When you have an event to plan and you want something different? Call us, we can make any event memorable.
I have recently had the pleasure of partnering with two great organizations in the hopes of helping others. The first is Ovar'Coming Together, Indiana's nonprofit ovarian cancer education and resource organization. The second is the Muscular Distrophy Association.
September 26, 2009 will mark the 2009 Ovarian Cancer Run & Walk benefitting Ovar'Coming Together. The event begins at Victory Field at 9am. You or your company/organization can help by donating, registering to walk or volunteering. Our Indianapolis downtown hotel is helping by raising awareness by adding symptom cards to our employee's paychecks, displaying flyers at the Front Desk, wearing the teal wristbands from the organization. Also, we are offering discount hotel rooms for the run & walk. $10 per room night will be donated to Ovar'Coming Together.
The Muscular Distrophy Association is holding their annual lockup again! I will be removed from my hotel on Thursday, August 27 and taken to "jail" for GOOD. In order to be released, I need to make bail. I'm asking friends, family, guests and business partners to help bail me out and donate to MDA. In this economy, we all have a better hold on our cash, which means there are less people donating to organizations like this. Luckily, small donations go a long way! Help me help Jerry's Kids by stopping by my site and donating today!
Do you donate to any charities? If you are passionate about a charity and would like to let us know how Indianapolis area hotels can help, please comment on this post!
In my attempt to tie in the hotel to every blog, I have to tell you about that, too! For the second consecutive year, the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Downtown hotel is the Official Hotel of the Rib America Festival! I have set up some great discount hotel rooms and a hotel package for the event. You can find hotel accommodations with us just five blocks from Military Park here. The package I created is a great hotel deal in Indianapolis, too! The package includes admission for two to the festival, 20 food/beverage/game tickets, an overnight stay in our three star hotel downtown Indianapolis and breakfast for two in our Great American Grill. I only set three rooms aside for this special package, so reserve your Rib America Festival Indianapolis hotel package soon!
The annual Sky Concert is canceled this year. But the Rib America Festival is definitely a great way to heat things up in downtown Indy!! If you have any questions, please feel free to call me directly at (317) 405-5710.

I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet! I receive many phone calls from soon-to-be brides and grooms, friends of the couple, planners, mothers and fathers. They look for blocks of discount hotel rooms and hotels near the Murat Centre or Mavris, Scottish Rite, The Rathskeller or Fountain Square Theatre or ceremony or reception site. They want menus for rehearsal dinners and brunches. Almost every weekend throughout the year, the Hilton Garden Inn is host to many friends and family members of the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs.
There are many Indianapolis wedding hotels from which to choose. Of the downtown Indianapolis hotels, I think we are a great choice! Of course, I am biased, but it's a charming historic hotel in Indianapolis, and soon to be newly renovated hotel! Our great location, history, friendly staff, comfy rooms and catering capabilities make us a great option! With that said, I thought I might offer some of my own planning tips for our Indianapolis wedding hotel:
- If your reception serves alcohol, choose a hotel close to the reception location. Guests will appreciate the short walk or cheap cab ride back. If not, consider providing a shuttle for your guests. I can give you some choices.
- Have your rehearsal dinner or day-after brunch in the hotel! You will be able to get a great deal on a private room for your meal(s) when you have a room block in the hotel.
- Research the hotel online before you call. Many times I get calls asking to accommodate 250 or 300 guests for a reception - too large for us. I hate telling someone that we can't do it, and they waste precious planning time.
- Gift bags are a big hit! Thank your guests for sharing in your union by making gift bags for them. We will deliver them out at check-in!
- Why not take advantage of the hotel for your bachelor or bachelorette parties? Indianapolis group travel rates are available for you!
For helpful tips from Hilton, check out their Guestiquette page. Then call us!
