The Westin Indianapolis

Downtown Comfort Just Steps from the Action

The Westin Indianapolis is a modern, upscale hotel in the heart of downtown, connected by a sky-bridge to the Indiana Convention Center and Circle Center Mall. With stylish rooms, an on-site restaurant and sports lounge, and a location that puts you within walking distance of top attractions and venues, it’s a smart base for music fans looking to stay close to the energy of the city.

Each room is outfitted with a flat-screen TV, refrigerator, and La Colombe coffee from Ten Hands Market, making it easy to recharge before or after a show. A modern fitness center and concierge service add extra convenience for travelers.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being within walking distance of major downtown venues means you can catch your favorite band and be back in your room without needing a rideshare. The atmosphere is lively but the rooms are quiet, offering a welcome escape after a big night. With check-in from 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s enough flexibility to sleep in after a late encore. The concierge can also assist with transport or local tips.
