We've Got a Hotel Deal, Indianapolis! Just in Time for the Indians' Games

Tuesday, March 12, 2013 by Hilton Garden Inn Team

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!

2013 Conference Hotel Indianapolis and More

Sunday, January 20, 2013 by Hilton Garden Inn Team

Happy New Year!  In the city of Indy, 2013 will be a weird one when it comes to conventions - we are going to have fewer conventions than usual.

For example, the Men’s and Women’s Big Ten Basketball Championships as well as the FFA and CEDIA conventions are in alternating cities this year.

As a result of this absence, our newly renovated hotel Indianapolis can offer group discounts and meeting space and catering during dates we have not had available in previous years.

What sort of group event are you planning?  Is your company looking for a place to have their annual sales meeting?  What about a family reunion or a high school reunion?  Are you a coach or part of a sports team that needs to look into an Indianapolis hotel pacakages?  Are you looking for a place to have your wedding reception?  Or even your ceremony?  What about a wedding group that needs to book some rooms?  Or a Bachelor or Bachelorette party that is having a night out in downtown Indy? 

Great opportunity for that company meeting (contact Camille Lauer), reunion or sports group (contact Lindsay Gill) or wedding guest room block, reception or ceremony (contact Celia Belden).

Star Hotel Downtown Indianapolis Supports Canned Food Drive

Thursday, December 6, 2012 by Hilton Garden Inn Team

Although the month of December usually involves a lot of shopping, it is also a traditional time of year to have a canned food drive because many people are in need for the extra food.

From now until December 30, 2012 we are having a canned food drive - all canned goods will be donated to the Julian Center.  The Julian Center helps victims of domestic violence get back on their feet and provides them a safe place to be until they can do just that. 

If you are interested in helping out, please bring your canned goods to our green hotel Indianapolis and drop them off at the Front Desk of the hotel. 

Not only do victims of domestic violence need a warm meal, but they also need a safe spot to lay their head.  We are also donating 180 lumbar/bolster pillows to help with this effort.

Thank you in advance for your help in providing hope and healing to the folks at the Julian Center.

What are some of the ways that you give back during the holiday season?  What sort of ideas do you have on ways that our newly renovated hotel Indianapolis can give back?
