The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Indianapolis North-Carmel By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Just North of Downtown

Modern and welcoming, Holiday Inn Indianapolis North-Carmel By IHG offers a relaxing stay just off I-465, placing you about 12 miles from the heart of downtown Indianapolis. With clean, spacious rooms featuring free WiFi, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and in-room microwaves and fridges, this hotel is a solid pick for music lovers who want comfort and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're only a short drive from major venues like Lucas Oil Stadium and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway—perfect for catching a show without the downtown price tag. The hotel’s location also means you're close enough to Uber back after a late-night concert, but far enough to enjoy a quieter night’s sleep. With late 12:00 PM check-out, you can sleep in after a night of music. Plus, the 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals or post-show check-ins a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading to a weekend festival
Solo travelers ticking off a legendary artist
Couples planning a concert-and-chill weekend
Fans who prefer a quieter, suburban recovery spot
Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you'll find plenty of walkable dining options nearby. Each room comes with a microwave and fridge for easy snacks, and coffee and tea facilities keep you caffeinated. Breakfast is available—great for those post-show mornings. Though there's no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s convenience market helps fill the gap.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that's the point for many concert-goers. You're close enough to reach downtown clubs, lounges, and breweries with a short drive or ride-share. Prefer to keep it low-key? Wind down with a drink in your room or explore nearby bars in the Carmel area.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms and friendly staff, with many noting how quiet the hotel is—even on busy weekends. Reviews consistently mention the easy parking and how convenient the location is for shows and downtown attractions without the downtown chaos. The heated indoor pool and fitness center are also popular extras.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel could use a few modern updates in decor, and the lack of a full-service restaurant may be a downside for those looking to dine in. But overall, these are minor trade-offs for the value and location.

The Bottom Line

Holiday Inn Indianapolis North-Carmel By IHG is a smart choice for concert-goers who want a quiet, comfortable stay with easy access to top venues and late-night flexibility.

Josie M, South Charleston

The room, bed and customer service was all great! It was our first time at this hotel and in this area. The staff was very helpful with the shuttle information and also helping us out with a taxi service for a safe ride back. Thanks so much!

we will come back

Liked: Please recognize the hostess at the breakfast buffet. She went out of her way not only to be friendly but to offer service many times. The buffet Fruit selection was outstanding with fresh blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and pineapple. It was great with the yogurt. Also, I liked that the weekday guests got real silverware and plates and cups plus coffee carafe at each table.
Disliked: There were several times that we needed to use the stairs because the cleaning crews needed the whole elevator to put their cart in.... perhaps smaller carts that only take up 1/2 the elevator would much more respectful of guests.
