Quick Verdict: JW Marriott Indianapolis vs Le Méridien Indianapolis

When JW Marriott Indianapolis wins: choose JW if you need extensive meeting/banquet capacity (over 100,000 sq ft and the Midwest’s largest ballroom), direct skywalk access to the convention center/stadium, many on-site dining options, or want a large, full-service downtown hotel that welcomes families.

When Le Méridien Indianapolis wins: choose Le Méridien if you prefer a smaller, lifestyle-oriented downtown stay (about 100 rooms), easier access on foot to Gainbridge Fieldhouse and nearby dining, and a quieter, boutique-like scale compared with a convention giant.
