Hilton Indianapolis, in the Heart of Shopping and Attractions

A Hotel that Offers it All in Indiana's Capital

Marcia Frost
Indianapolis is a compact Indiana city that offers an array of activity for the vacation or business traveler. The Hilton Indianapolis is a full service hotel that benefits from a perfect location.

The Hilton Indianapolis is within walking distance of the city's top attractions, including the Indianapolis Zoo; the NCAA Hall of Champions; the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art; and Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts. Military Park, which is home to many events like Vintage Indiana, is about a half mile away. The hotel is also a short drive to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and White River State Park.

Just down the block from the Hilton Indianapolis is some of the best shopping and dining in the area. The Circle Centre Mall is four stories high and includes over 100 store and restaurant options. It includes a Nordstrom department store along with the specialty shops. The mall also has a movie theater with nine screens.

If you want to eat at the hotel, there's no shortage of food options at the Hilton Indianapolis with the 120 West Market Fresh Grill and McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant. The 120 West restaurant has a Sunday Brunch that includes a huge array of dishes as well as live music, but the regular breakfast buffet (which is available everyday) is pretty incredible. It includes made-to-order omelets, biscuits, muffins, pancakes, French toast and smoothies. There are also European touches like fresh yogurt and cheeses. In addition, Hilton marks foods as "Low Fat & Calorie," "Hi-Energy," "High Fiber," "Low Cholesterol" and "Indulgence" so you can follow your dietary needs. Room service is also available 24 hours a day.

You will find some of the largest standard hotel rooms around at the Hilton in Indianapolis. Even the least expensive standard rooms average around 500 square feet. The deluxe rooms are even more spacious with a sofabed in a separate living room. All rooms are business friendly with dual line phones and large desks. They also have flat screen televisions and coffee makers.

A unisex hair salon and spa is located on the premises of the Hilton Indianapolis. The only negative at this hotel is the parking, which is hard to come by and costly. Some of their special packages do include pre-paid parking so check for that before you book.

The Hilton Indianapolis is located at 120 West Market Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. Visit their website for more information.
