Hampton Inn By Hilton Indianapolis Downtown Across from Circle Centre

Historic Charm Meets Concert Convenience in Downtown Indy

Modern comfort inside a historic landmark – the Hampton Inn by Hilton Indianapolis Downtown offers a relaxed and reliable stay right in the heart of the city. Housed in the stately Chesapeake Building and located directly across from Circle Centre Mall, this hotel is just a short walk from major downtown venues and nightlife hotspots. With thoughtful amenities like free WiFi, complimentary breakfast, and in-room conveniences like a microwave and mini-fridge, it’s a great base for music lovers on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s location is a standout – less than half a mile to Lucas Oil Stadium and a 5-minute walk to Bankers Life Fieldhouse. That means no need for rideshares or parking stress after a show. Guests appreciate the quiet, well-insulated rooms that let you wind down easily after the encore. The 24-hour front desk and flexible check-in (from 3:00 PM) and check-out (by 11:00 AM) make it easy to fit around showtimes. Plus, with a fitness center open late and reliable WiFi, you can keep your routine going even while on the road.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a central crash pad after a night out
• Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist and wanting walkable access
• Couples turning a concert night into a weekend city getaway
• Fans needing a quieter space to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

Guests rave about the free daily full breakfast buffet – perfect for refueling after a late night. Though there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is surrounded by walkable dining options in every direction. Coffee and tea facilities in the room are great for a quick morning start, and the nearby Circle Centre Mall offers plenty of fast bites or sit-down meals before or after the show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its location places you in the middle of downtown Indy’s nightlife scene. Popular bars, lounges, and clubs are just a short stroll away, with many venues offering local craft drinks or late-night entertainment. It’s easy to keep the party going or find a quieter spot to decompress.

What People Say

Guest reviews highlight the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and unbeatable location for events. Many guests enjoyed the historical character of the building, paired with the modern amenities. The complimentary breakfast is frequently praised, as is the convenience of everything being within walking distance.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parking can be a bit pricey and not directly on-site, as it’s in a nearby garage. A few reviewers noted that the older building means some rooms have smaller windows or less natural light – but most felt this added to the charm.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a downtown Indianapolis concert, the Hampton Inn offers a stress-free, comfy stay just steps from the action – with breakfast included.
