Hotel Room Indianapolis

The following post is a guest blog from Kirk Stelsel who has been a client, a guest and a fan of our hotel since 2010 when we hosted his wedding party and guests.  Kirk's post comes to us voluntarily and he was not paid or encouraged to write on our behalf.  Follow Kirk on Twitter: @kirkstelsel  THANKS FOR THE RECOMMENDATION, KIRK!

Being put in charge of planning a bachelor party is both an honor and a burden.

Anyone who has ever planned an event of any sort knows how hard it is to please an entire group of people by meeting everyone’s needs, ensuring everyone has fun and getting everyone on the same page.

Thankfully, one part of my planning was easy – picking the hotel for our downtown Indianapolis bachelor party. When it came to location, price, quality and service – I knew the service was good based on the way they handled my wedding – the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Downtown was the only place I needed to contact.

Dinner at a local favorite for pretty much all the guys involved, Scotty’s Brewhouse, was a short walk down Pennsylvania Street from one of our favorite downtown Indianapolis hotels. After dinner, moving on to the best place to enjoy nightlife in the entire city, Mass Ave., was easy to walk as well.

If its basketball or football season and you want to take in a game as part of your bachelor party, the HGI is one of the closest hotels near Bankers Life Fieldhouse for a Pacers game and is an easy walk. Catching a Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium is just across a compact downtown, so either a healthy walk or a very short cab ride. If music is your thing, the Murat Centre (now the Old National Centre) is right down on the street on the aforementioned Mass Ave.  The HGI is one of the closest hotels near Murat Centre.

I’ve stayed at this hotel three times now, and had countless wedding guests stay there, and every time has been exceptional. The rooms are always clean, the staff is always friendly, and both my bachelor party and wedding guests went out of their way to tell me what a great hotel I had picked for them. If you want a downtown Indianapolis hotel for your bachelor party with bang for your buck, service and some pretty cool history, check out the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Downtown.

Racing fans are in luck this year: the Circle City delivers once again with multiple races within the city and also in surrounding areas. Racing fans of all preferences are welcome to book a room in our Indianapolis area hotel for easy access to all these racing sites. Whether it's horse, hydroplane, or sprint car racing, there's a raceway for everyone. This is why your friendly local Indianapolis downtown hotel (that's us!) has compiled a list of the best raceways for you to check out, especially if you're only visiting in the area.

• O'Reilly Raceway Park – Located in Clermont, only 30 mins from us, features summit racing for the ET series. There will be several races held throughout the months up until October at least. This raceway also has motorbike and Camaro events for all you enthusiasts out there.
• Madison Regatta – Less than 2 hours from us, the Madison Regatta will be held from July 5th through 7th this year and will feature the best in hydroplane racing. This local event draws fans from all over because of the intensity and excitement of the races.
• World of Outlaws – Located in Kokomo, about an hour's drive. The World of Outlaws STP Spring Car Series 2013 schedule is jam packed with action from February until November. Some of these races will take place in other states but there are a significant number of local races too.
• Hoosier Park – Nothing screams excitement like the combination of a horse racing track with a casino. This is what Hoosier Park achieves by featuring Standardbred racing while offering various forms of entertainment, food, and drinks in their casino.
• Indiana Downs – This scenic race track hosts thoroughbred and quarter horse racing while offering other entertainment options at a fee. Access to gift shops, race wagering, and the bar is free. If you want to take it a step further, you can pay to use the theater and fine dining available.

As you can see, there's something for everyone. If you've made use of one of our Indianapolis hotel packages, it's likely you've brought the family with you. Well, instead of leaving them at home, many of these racetracks provide other sources of entertainment that they may find appealing so that you can turn the event into a family outing. Not such a bad deal, huh?
 

Beatles' fans, brace yourselves: Paul McCartney is coming to a location near you. That's right, the man himself will be at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Sunday, July 14th. Tickets range from $59.50 to $252 and with McCartney's popularity, it will not be surprising if this concert sells out. Don't hesitate; get your tickets today, and don't forget to check out hotels near Bankers Life Fieldhouse if you're coming from out of town.

The show will start at 8pm and is part of McCartney's “Out There” tour. This is the first time he has been back to Indianapolis since 2002. Eager fans should jump on this opportunity due to the possibility of not being able to see him perform for another 10+ years! During this tour, McCartney will be performing classic Beatles' and Wings' songs, as well as brand new material. Attending this concert is a chance in a lifetime – some of the music you will hear has never been released before.

Interested McCartney fans should look into downtown Indy hotels while rooms are still available. Let's not kid ourselves: most people are going to want to see Paul McCartney. This is one of those events where the phrase “if you snooze, you lose” holds particularly true. Tickets went on sale April 19th, so if you're just now finding out about the show, waste no time! As for where to stay, we can help you out with that. Our Indianapolis downtown hotel is only two blocks from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse, which will allow you to save money on transportation so that you can buy more Paul McCartney t-shirts.

 

Only six blocks from our luxurious Indianapolis area hotel, the Indiana State Museum is paying tribute to the infamous James Dean in their "Eternal James Dean" collection until June 2nd. In this exhibit, people will be able to see photographs and documents outlining the actor's life. Personal items he owned while alive will also be featured, such as his 955 500cc Triumph motorcycle and his uncle's 1949 Ford that Dean used during high school.

Dean has proven a particularly enigmatic character and an idol throughout the midwest. This exhibit shows his Indiana roots, emphasizing his teen years in Fairmount, Indiana. The exhibit takes a look into the time he spent at UCLA for college, as well as the brief time he lived in NYC. Since this youthful actor died at age 24, the years he spent in Indiana are a prime focus of the exhibit. Although having passed at such a young age, James Dean is known for his roles in "Rebel Without a Cause," "East of Eden," and "Giant." It is interesting because many actors living three times as long as Dean are not nearly as well-known as he is. Even teens in this day and age recognize his name despite the fact that he died in a car crash so long ago.

To get the full experience understand the "king of cool," book a room with our Indianapolis downtown hotel. Since we are so close to the exhibit, you won't have to worry about spending large sums of money to rent a car. In addition to the exhibit on James Dean, the Indiana State Museum will be featuring "The Lincolns: Five Generations of an American Family" until August 4th. So what are you waiting for? Check out our Indianapolis hotel packages right away!

Let's just admit it: we all love our Indianapolis Indians. No matter where you're from in Indiana or even if you're not from this state, you can appreciate how fun their games are. Because of this, we offer so many different Indianapolis hotel packages to provide a comfortable place for fans to stay. If you've traveled across half of the state to see a few of their games, you certainly don't want to be stuck staying at a cheap hotel! Your comfort is our #1 priority, which is why we take great pride in keeping our rooms clean and turning them into a home away from home.

Since we appreciate your love for the Indians, we are also proud that our own newly renovated hotel Indianapolis is close to the field they play at, Victory Field. This is why it's important that you go with one of our downtown Indy hotel when you want to see them play. You won't have to spend as much money traveling to and from the field as you would with a hotel outside of the downtown area. No one wants to spend the majority of their vacation time traveling back and forth on the same roads. Wouldn't you rather spend this time watching the games and sightseeing? That's what we thought, too!

Book your Indianapolis hotel accommodations at our downtown three star hotel Indianapolis today!

The Indianapolis Hilton Garden Inn has always been dedicated to providing excellent hotel accommodations Indianapolis.  We continually update and renovate our facilities in the best interests of our customers, and our latest project proves to be no exception. 

That’s right, the Hilton Garden Inn Indy has exciting news: we will be welcoming a brand new addition next year!  After remaining vacant since the hotel’s opening in 2003, the 16th floor of the hotel is being renovated into suites.  The floor will become home to seven large suites and one grand suite, all designed to make your stay at the Indianapolis downtown hotel even more enjoyable.  Most details are still forthcoming (sketches, renderings, and design boards are currently in the making), but the rooms are unofficially named the Fletcher Suites after the historic building’s origin: the Fletcher Savings and Trust Building.

The estimated time of completion is spring 2013, at which time the suites will be available to reserve through all usual channels (online, hotel phone, and Hilton reservations).  Follow the renovation progress on the hotel’s Facebook page and, upon completion, be sure to see for yourself what all the fuss is about and book a room at the newly renovated hotel Indianapolis.  
 

With two exhibition wins already under the team’s belt, the rest of this season’s Butler Men’s Basketball is sure to not disappoint.  The Butler campus and the surrounding Indy area is alive with Bulldog spirit; if you live outside of Indianapolis, why should you have to miss out on all of the fun?  Instead, take a weekend off from chores and monotony and make a quick getaway to the heart of Indy. 

View the schedule of upcoming games, pick a weekend that works, and take a road trip with your spouse or your college buddies or the whole family and enjoy an entire weekend of Butler basketball and other downtown Indy events.  As one of the three Butler preferred hotels, the only downtown preferred hotel, and the closest preferred hotel to campus, the historic hotel Indianapolis Hilton Garden Inn offers optimal guest accommodations for all Bulldog fans. 

And if you’re bringing along family members who aren’t basketball savvy, the Hilton’s central Indianapolis location allows for a mere walking distance to several other entertainment locales, whether they be museums, shops, or restaurants.  Cheer for your favorite player then retire to your hotel room Indianapolis for some well-deserved relaxation.  Get more information and make reservations ASAP so you can be part of a basketball season you don’t want to miss!
 

The Indianapolis Hilton Garden Inn will be offering hotel packages for the 9th consecutive year as part of the Duke Energy Yuletide Celebration, a musical tradition filled with holiday magic, complete with Santa Claus and flying reindeer.  This year, two different packages will be available: the Shop & Stay Package and the Stay & Save package.
