The Spotlight on Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Dwtn-Union Stn By IHG

Historic Charm Meets Downtown Energy in Indianapolis

Modern comfort blends with vintage flair at the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Dwtn-Union Stn, a unique hotel built inside one of America’s first train stations. Located in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, just steps from Lucas Oil Stadium and major concert venues, this hotel offers a one-of-a-kind stay with rooms set inside refurbished 1920s train cars. Whether you're in town for a big show or a full weekend of music, the vibe here is equal parts classic and convenient.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—just one block from major arenas and within walking distance of nightlife hotspots. After the encore, head back to your room without worrying about transport. The hotel’s historic design naturally dampens outside noise, offering a surprisingly quiet night's sleep even in the city center. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s just enough flexibility for late arrivals or recovery mornings.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends will love the spacious rooms and lounge areas. Solo travelers chasing a dream show can soak in the unique vibe of train car rooms. Couples get a romantic mix of history and modern comfort. Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery will appreciate the peaceful atmosphere. And for budget-conscious music fans, this hotel provides value for its prime location and memorable setting.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site 123 West & Taggart’s Restaurant serves up traditional American eats all day—ideal for pre-show dinners or late-night bites. The hotel also features a sports-themed lounge for post-concert drinks. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the walkable downtown location puts you close to late-night dining spots, and breakfast is available for those who hit snooze after a long night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music, you’re steps from the city’s best concert halls, bars, and lounges. The on-site bar is a great spot to start or end your night, serving up local craft drinks in a casual setting.

What People Say

Guests love the nostalgic train car rooms, calling them a “must-try experience.” The location gets rave reviews—especially for easy access to Lucas Oil Stadium and downtown venues. Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, and the hotel’s blend of history and modern amenities earns repeat visits.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that certain rooms—especially the train car ones—can feel a bit dated or dark. Others note that parking fees can add up, so consider ride-shares if you're staying for just one night.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location, historic charm, and peaceful atmosphere, the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis is a top pick for concert-goers wanting a memorable and convenient downtown stay.

A great place to stay...

Liked: Don’t let the outside fool you!! They are updating the hotel and it is beautiful! It’s right in the middle of Gainbridge and Lucas oil and so close to the heart of downtown. Once all the construction is done downtown it will be amazing.
Disliked: Downtown Indy is a hot mess right now so it looks really bad, but it will be amazing when it’s done. My only complaints about the actual hotel is the water pressure is not good and our tub backed up while we were showering.
