It's Been Awhile

Friday, July 24, 2009 by Lindsay Gill

...since I've blogged. I had the privilege of meeting my favorite band, Incubus, for the second time this past Wednesday, July 22. Every time I see them live, it's a great experience and my eyes and ears are glued to the stage. It got me thinking, what are our guests passionate about? Maybe it's the upcoming concert at Conseco Fieldhouse, the Colts games this year at Lucas Oil Stadium or our three star hotel downtown Indianapolis. Feel free to tell us what you're passionate about, including comments about our hotel!

We're near the Indianapolis Speedway and this is the perfect time to be one of many downtown Indy hotels close to that venue. Saving Abel is playing there this weekend, practice is running and the Brickyard 400 is Sunday! I'll be there, will you? There are lots of upcoming events this summer including some major conventions. GenCon, the Best Four Days in Gaming, will be held downtown in August and we are near the Indianapolis Convention Center - only a five block walk!

Since my favorite topic is live music, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra plays at Conner Prairie every year for Symphony on the Prairie. I've not been myself, but I hear it's great. If you'd like to stay in an Indianapolis area hotel after the Prairie, get online and check out our special rates for this event! Just input Group Code SOTP09.

There's only a couple months of summer left! Tell us how you'll make the most of it!

Follow us on Facebook and Twitter! We will soon be setting up a Facebook and Twitter rate, too...stay tuned for more...

The Indy 500 may be over, but there are still two great races to think about in the coming months! In July, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard will return for it's 16th running at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. What about the 2nd annual Red Bull Indianapolis GP in August? Also at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, this motorcycle race is not one to miss!

Wednesday Night Races 05/13/09 and 05/20/09

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 by Megan Mills

As you know the month of May in Indianapolis is mayhem. Being an Indianapolis Downtown hotel we have to join in the fun. We want our guests to help us celebrate this month of May.... traditionally. What a better way than a Race Night. Tonight 5/13/09 and next Wednesday night 5/20/09 we will be hosting Race Night for our in-house guests to attend. We will have traditional race food and drinks along with your chance to take a lap, well a lap around our track that is. We have a race track set up in our lobby and will be having qualifications, which is really practice, and then the real race heats will begin at 7pm. I will be in the lobby around 5pm to get in some early practicing because I definitely need it.
If you are not into racing, you should still come down and watch myself and other staffers embarrass ourselves. This may not be the Greatest Spectacle in Racing but it will be a spectacle!!! Hope to see you here....If you are not a guest maybe you should think about becoming one during your next visit to our fine city!
