Residence Inn by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown on the Canal  

Right on Indianapolis’s Canal in downtown, a few steps from the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library and within easy walking distance of the Indiana State Capitol, Eiteljorg Museum and the Indiana Convention Center. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, this spot puts cultural hits and canal-side walks within reach.

134 air-conditioned suites feel like short-term apartments. Rooms come with kitchenettes—refrigerators and stovetops or microwaves—plus separate sitting areas, desks and in-room safes. Expect big flat-screen TVs and simple, practical layouts that suit families and longer stays.

Swim year-round in the indoor pool or sink into the spa tub. Keep up with workouts in the 24-hour fitness center, gather at the lobby fireplace, or grill out in the picnic and barbecue area. Complimentary wireless internet, pet-friendly policies and on-site laundry keep stays easy. Self parking is available for a fee.

A 24-hour business center and express check-in/checkout streamline work trips. There’s about 1,480 sq ft of meeting and conference space for events, plus complimentary wireless internet and onsite paid self parking.

Grab a bite at the snack bar/deli or stop by the on-site restaurant and bar. A complimentary hot-and-cold buffet breakfast is served (weekday and weekend times vary), and the hotel hosts complimentary receptions on select days.
