Railroads, once the lifeblood of this Midwestern hub, dominate the look and feel of Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Downtown Union Station, which offers lodging in authentic Pullman train cars among its 273 guest quarters and two suites. True to its crossroads pedigree, the landmark property connects directly with the Indianapolis Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, with Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Victory Field, the Indianapolis Zoo, and the NCAA Hall of Champions nearby. The muffled rumblings of trains passing through the still-active Union Station contribute to a memorable stay.
Event planners remain on track, thanks to 22 conference rooms and 55,000 square feet of meeting space, including the majestic Grand Hall Ballroom. Amenities include an indoor pool, fitness center, 123 West breakfast and lunch bar, and the sports-themed Taggart's restaurant and lounge.
