Central city-address · Outdoor pool · Free WiFi

Best for straightforward downtown stays — the Sheraton puts you steps from Monument Circle and local attractions with a familiar full-service experience.

Quick Verdict: JW Marriott Indianapolis vs Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre Hotel

When JW Marriott Indianapolis wins: choose the JW if you’re attending a conference, booking large event space, or want direct skywalk access to the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium; its meeting footprint and on-site dining are tailored to groups.

When Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre Hotel wins: pick the Sheraton if you want a long-established downtown hotel a short walk from Monument Circle, Soldiers and Sailors Monument and Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and if an outdoor pool and compact, central location are priorities.

Bottom line: both are full-service downtown options from the Marriott family, but JW Marriott is the convention-focused, higher-capacity option while the Sheraton is a more traditional downtown business hotel with easier proximity to Monument Circle and nearby attractions.
