Wondering which hotel you should stay at in Indianapolis?

Forbes’ 2023 Travel Guide recommends Conrad Indianapolis (50 W. Washington St.) — the only Indiana hotel that made its list of 433 others.

So what did Forbes have to say about the Indy hotel? Well, it seemed to be wowed by the hotel’s “art-inspired ambiance” and amenities.

The highlights

  • The lobby’s Long-Sharp Gallery features rotating exhibitions of work by modern masters and the 18th-floor Gallery Suite boasts original Warhol and Picasso pieces.
  • The Warhol-walled presidential Gallery Suite is the Conrad’s largest, but its other standouts are the four art-inspired accommodations, accessible by a private lobby. The pads called “The Collection” comes in pop, modern, contemporary, and surrealism with personalized touches like the Pop Suite’s newspaper-print bedroom wall, Indiana limestone fireplace, and private media library.
  • A 15,000-sqft ballroom shows off sphere-studded chandeliers modeled after the Met Opera’s famous fixtures.
  • Its Tastings wine bar stocks 200+ vintages from all over the world, available by the sip, glass or bottle. You can enjoy unlimited samples here.
