Happy New Year and welcome to 2010! There's going to be a lot happening this year! The Colts have home field advantage for the playoffs and face off against the Baltimore Ravens this Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium! Being one of the hotels near Lucas Oil Stadium, our lobby is decked out with Fatheads, flags, bobble heads and our staff will surely be in Colts attire starting tomorrow!
We are officially one of Indianapolis' newly renovated hotels! Only a few final touches remain before we're 100% complete. Our restaurant, the Great American Grill, has been completely redone and has a very chic feel to it. The guestroom beds, carpet and furniture have been replaced. Lobby furniture is brand new and, as and Indianapolis meeting hotel, we have updated our meeting space as well! Check our pictures out on our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter too!
The Hilbert Circle Theatre will be host to some great shows this season. I'm particularly interested in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's presentation of The Music of Pink Floyd! Of course being a concert fanatic, I'm very excited to see what other venues will present this year. We're the closest hotel to Murat Centre, so why not stay with us when you come to your next show? Don't forget about the Pacers and those performances at Conseco Fieldhouse to which we're one of the the closest hotels.
Big things will be happening in 2010! Oh...ladies and gentlemen, Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching! So when you get engaged, be sure to call our wedding hotel when you're looking for a place to host your rehearsal dinner, small ceremony or reception or simply need a discounted hotel room block for your group's travel!

Did you know Hilton Garden Inns are Best Available Rate guaranteed hotels? What does this mean? Well, it means that when you, as our potential or returning guest, are searching for Indianapolis hotel accommodations or and Indianapolis hotel deal, you will find our rates are the same on all third party booking sites, like Expedia and Orbitz, as they are on our HGI site.How does this benefit you? First, you know the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Downtown doesn't jack up our prices to sell at a higher rate on any website. Second, you know that king room you reserve on our website will be a king room when you arrive. Some third party booking sites only guarantee you a room, not a specific room type - like airlines guarantee you a fare, but not a specific seat. If this is the case on our site, you can always call the hotel to see what "Room Type Selected At Check-In" really means and if your preferred room type is, in fact, available. Finally, we can only offer our great packages on our HGI.com site. You'll find great Indianapolis hotel packages and our best available rates online...guaranteed.
Finally, whether you are searching for Indianapolis wedding hotels or a meeting hotel, hotels near Conseco Fieldhouse for your team or something downtown but still near the Indianapolis Airport for your group's easy arrival and departure, you can find Indianapolis group travel accommodations through our sales department. We would be happy to check availability for your friends, family, clients, conference or team. Call one of us if you need anything!

It's FOOTBALL SEASON!! This Thursday, September 3 marks the end of the Indianapolis Colts' preseason! Our first regular season game is Sunday, September 13. The Indianapolis Colts face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home! I don't know about your team, but we have Blue Friday here in Indy. Our hotel celebrates the Colts games by displaying larger-than-life Colts players in the lobby, flags in our lobby palm trees, and a banner or two.
Of course, most employees really love Blue Friday because we get to wear something a bit more casual and our Indianapolis Colts jerseys! You can check out our team spirit on our Facebook page photo gallery! We even bring out the war paint and temporary tattoos from time to time! Are you a member of the Colts Blue Crew? You should be!
Of the hotels near Lucas Oil Stadium, we may not be the closest, but we certainly bleed blue (most of us). When you are searching for Indianapolis hotel reservations, whether you're supporting the Colts or the Texans, 49ers or Jets, we'd love to have you stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis Downtown! If you're coming from out of town for the Titans game, or any other, call me to check for Indianapolis group travel options!

Sun, 9/13: Jacksonville Jaguars
Sun, 10/4: Seattle Seahawks

Within this organization, one of the things Christian will work toward is advancing the artistic contribution that this fine organization makes to our city, by raising the awareness to expand its audience. So, if you are in town over the next few months, please check the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra’ website for performances (http://www.icomusic.org). Also, starting in September, the Chamber Orchestra will be celebrating its 25th year and for the occasion, they will feature a myriad of talented musicians for every taste and every season. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Handel’s Messiah are only glimpses of the upcoming performances.
A collaborative creation with the American Pianist Association is also a part of this celebration. “ICO [
Why not make a night of it? While enjoying the ICO at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center – Frank and Katrina Basile Theater, stay at a historic hotel in Indianapolis! It's a great idea for Indianapolis group travel.

One result of our expressed interest in environmental issues and our desire to be one of the more green hotels in Indianapolis is our exposure to other area greening projects.
As a representative of a Downtown Indy Hotel I've recently been able to sit in on a few meetings that have highlighted some of the important steps that Indianapolis is doing to become a greener and more environmentally friendly city. Currently the Indiana Cultural Trail construction is already well underway and will pass within one block of our hotel sometime next year. Our central location on this trail will connect the Hilton Garden Inn hotel in all four directions via the trail to all the major cultural districts including the Fountain Square, Wholesale District, Mass Avenue and the Murat Centre, the Canal and White River State Park, and of course Monument Circle. If you know someone looking for a conference hotel in Indianapolis, another corridor of this trail will branch off to the Indianapolis Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium making this a very pleasant walk from the hotel for conventioneers, Colts Fans, or others on Indianapolis group travel.
Once completed, the Indy Cultural Trail will connect with the existing Monon Trail which will give guests staying at the hotel easy access to Broad Ripple Village as well. Check out the Cultural Trail's site if you get a chance. The storm water planters and natural vegetation will really add to the feel of Downtown Indy and enhance the experience for both cyclists and pedestrians. Very cool stuff.

...Everywhere I look around! Love is in the air, every sight and every sound!
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!

The Hilton Garden Inn is one of the closest hotels near Conseco Fieldhouse and the closest of the hotels near Murat Centre. Our proximity to these venues and our beautiful hotel accommodations makes us an ideal destination for group travel to Indianapolis to see your favorite band or sports teams at one of these venues. Our guest rooms have always been comfortable and fresh, and even though they still look great, we are beginning the selection phase of our interior design refresh.
We'll want to make our new design both pleasing to the eye and functional for the traveler by incorporating contemporary comfort and some of the newest technology. By the end of the year our hotel will be the most newly renovated hotel in Indianapolis. This redesign will be particularly careful to preserve the characteristics of this 1915 historic hotel of Indianapolis. During this process we will incorporate some aspects of reuse and recycle as we continue to strive to be one of the more green hotels in Indianapolis. We will certainly welcome any ideas that might be proposed from one of our readers or guests. One of the first adopted practices will be the commitment to send the replaced carpet to a carpet recycling facility.
