  • Steps from White River State Park, Eiteljorg Museum and the Indiana State Museum.

  • About a 5-minute walk to Eiteljorg Museum and campus attractions listed in the supplier listing.
  • Very close to White River State Park and Gainbridge Fieldhouse area.
  • Suits guests who want to be in the convention/core downtown footprint without needing the skywalk connection.

Pick Marriott Downtown if you want a central downtown base near museums and stadiums.

  • No on-site pool is a consideration for families who expect swimming on-property.

Avoid JW if an on-site pool or hot tub is a must for your trip.

  • Supplier amenities cover fitness facilities, gardens and nearby outdoor recreation but do not show a pool.
  • The hotel highlights meeting space and dining rather than aquatic amenities.
