The Canterbury Hotel stands as a 12 story historic boutique in downtown Indianapolis, Ind. The hotel once attracted notable westbound visitors from Union Station. Today, the hotel's clientele includes romantic couples, traveling professionals and discriminating leisure guests eager to experience the resurgence of downtown Indianapolis. The Circle Center Mall adjoins the historic hotel on its mezzanine level, providing guests direct access to premiere shopping. The Indiana Convention Center is also accessible by skywalk. Conseco Fieldhouse and the Lucas Oil Stadium host sporting games and music tours just two blocks away, making the Canterbury a convenient event night accommodation. Indianapolis International Airport is conveniently located eight miles from this property.
The hotel is styled after the illustrious New York City luxury boutiques of the early 20th century, offering elegant surroundings and impeccable service. The Canterbury's two story lobby wisely impresses, though it stops well short of ostentation, anchored by a baby grand and lit by a soft chandelier. The Restaurant at the Canterbury presents the feeling and reputation of a respected city club. Important patrons of this traditionally styled fine restaurant dine amid rich mahogany and white linens. Signature dishes include scallop chowder, and the restaurant carries an extensive wine list. The lounge and bar, a dignified venue of polished walnut and leather club chairs, offers a small menu to accompany its sophisticated drink list.
The guestrooms at the Canterbury are graceful and beautifully furnished. Though well updated, the historic floor plans may be smaller than contemporary counterparts. Crimson upholstery and curtains make bold strokes against the room's dark wood furnishings, including an armoire and small table. Wireless Internet is available throughout the hotel. Guestroom amenities such as a stocked minibar, plush bathrobes and 24 hour room service make small and final touches. Nightly turndown service kisses each pillow with a chocolate truffle.
