2 Best Hotels in Indianapolis, Indiana

As is the Embassy Suites way, this all-suite property opens up with an impressive atrium lobby and glass elevators. Recently updated rooms provide the basics, along with suite amenities including mini fridge, microwave, two rooms and two TVs. One of the biggest draws of this chain is its complimentary cooked-to-order hot breakfasts, although be prepared for waits for food when the hotel is busy.

This glittering downtown hotel, dubbed "big blue" for its aqua-hued glass façade, attracts a mix of guests for its central location and full slate of in-house amenities. Beyond its flashy exterior, the lobby exudes a sophisticated feel with light woods and contemporary furnishings, including a room-dividing glass-enclosed fireplace. Spacious rooms face the canal or downtown (which can get noisy) and feature plush comforters and large flat-screen TVs. For families, the indoor pool, pullout sofas and summer kids packages (featuring tickets to the Children's Museum or zoo and breakfast) make the JW a good choice for a family vacation. Business travelers go for the convenience, with the hotels' skywalk connection to the convention center.
