Make the Most of Your Indianapolis Stay

A city built for connection

Indianapolis operates on a scale that makes sense—large enough to host world-class events, compact enough to navigate with ease. The Mile Square downtown centers on Monument Circle, where the 284-foot Soldiers and Sailors Monument anchors a grid extending to neighborhoods like Mass Ave's theater district and Fletcher Place's culinary scene. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home to the Indy 500 since 1911, defines the city's identity, while Newfields combines museum galleries with historic estates and sculpture gardens across 152 acres.

Where business meets hospitality

The Indiana Convention Center connects directly to downtown hotels, creating efficient logistics for corporate travelers. St. Elmo Steak House has anchored dining since 1902, though modern establishments like Vida now offer progressive alternatives. White River State Park provides 250 acres of green space minutes from convention facilities, with the Central Canal offering gondola rides between the Eiteljorg Museum and Indiana State Museum.

Strategic positioning

Indianapolis International Airport sits 15 miles southwest of downtown, with 20-30 minute transfers via rideshare or IndyGo Red Line. The city's central location enables day trips to Columbus for architecture, Brown County State Park for hiking, or Bloomington's Indiana University campus. Members can apply miles toward accommodations near Monument Circle or along the Cultural Trail, positioning you within walking distance of concentrated attractions and genuine Hoosier welcome.
