Take a video tour. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places and located in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, the Crowne Plaza Hotel and Conference Center at Historic Union Station is 'housed within America's first Union Station.' Our hotel's downtown Indianapolis location is ideal. We're adjacent to the Indiana Convention Center & RCA Dome, home of the Indianapolis Colts and convenient to Conseco Fieldhouse, Circle Centre Mall, The Indianapolis Zoo & White River Gardens, The Eiteljorg Museum, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway & Hall of Fame Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, The Children's Museum and downtown nightlife. Our Romanesque revival-style hotel features 273 guestrooms, Pullman's Restaurant & Lounge and over 50,000 sq ft of meeting space. We're best known for our 26 authentic Pullman train car guest rooms named and decorated after prominent personalities from the early 1900's. Another popular feature of the hotel is the white fiberglass ghost travelers dressed in period clothing, and still lovingly haunting the premises. Our hotel is still an active train station, which enhances its ambiance and authenticity.

The setting and restoration of this hotel is very unique and interesting, with the train theme. Our standard room was nice, a little tight and could have used more space for hanging clothes, but otherwise was comfortable. HOWEVER, our entire...

Recently, my business travels brought me to Indianapolis. Not expecting much, I figured the Crowne Plaza would be an OK place to hang my hat for the week. However, when I entered the hotel I was immediately impressed. When I pulled up to the hotel,...
Great hotel and great atmosphere!

My family and I stayed here this past weekend and everything was great. Our room was on the 1st floor near the pool, which didn't lead to privacy if the curtains were open, but if you're looking for character, this is the place in...
I stay at the CP every year when attending a conference and have also brought my family on other occasions. Rooms are very nice, beds extremely comfortable, and the staff is efficient, kind, and professional. Part of why I look forward to my conference is to stay a night in this hotel. In reading the other reviews I will agree the price is a little steep, but not in comparison to other downtown hotels in Indy (if you want cheap, go to the 'burbs). To me the worst issue is the cost of parking, but once you park (use the valet if you need in-and-out of garage privileges), you can walk to the stadium, convention center, downtown stores, and the Slippery Noodle, which is very convenient. The weekend brunch served by the restaurant is wonderful. The hotel website and reservations desk advises the place is an active train station, so anyone who complains about that just didn't do their research. Still, I have never had problems sleeping there, and I'm a fairly light sleeper. I haven't needed the earplugs or relaxation CD the hotel provides. The pool is adequate but not great (it's small); however, most people staying downtown come for the surrounding activities, they don't choose the area for a pool (most metropolitan hotels don't even have them). (For people who need one, the best hotel with a big, family-friendly pool in downtown Indy is Embassy Suites.) I was always told that if you want to eat at a good diner, go where firefighters and police officers go, and if you want a good hotel, stay where flight crews stay. I see a lot of pilots and flight attendants at this hotel. We've had king bed rooms and train car rooms, and enjoyed both, though if you are claustrophobic the train cars are not as spacious as a regular room. I would recommend the Crowne Plaza.
I am very likely
to return to the Crowne Plaza Hotel Indianapolis-Dwtn-Union Stn.
I would definitely recommend it to friends.
Our family had a great time!

We payed a little bit extra to stay in a Pullman room. Our kids are 9 and 6 and they LOVED it. The kids loved the swimming pool too. The hotel was friendly and the rooms were very clean. A great place to stay if you're going to be in...

Recently stayed at this location, and was pleased with the room and hotel in general. We slept in one of the rail cars, and our kids loved the experience. Hotel staff was very helpful, and the room was tight, but comfortable. The location in...
My husband and I just got back from staying at Union Station, we were only there for one night to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We had an excellent time. We got to stay in one of the train cars, it was really cool. This is still an active...

The hotel is wonderful. Do be aware that the noise from the pool carries very well. Request a room as far away from the pool as possible. Also, the train cars are neat, but they look just like they do on the web site...long and narrow. In...
