The renovation added 28 rooms to the 17-year-old hotel at 350 W. Maryland St., bringing the total to 650 rooms.
“Indianapolis has grown tremendously since the hotel opened its doors almost 20 years ago,” the hotel’s general manager, Keith Shopnick, said in a statement.
“We are thrilled to invest in Indianapolis Marriott Downtown to give it a fresh vibrancy that will elevate the guest experience for travelers and locals alike. We truly feel that these cutting-edge renovations will revolutionize the meeting-hotel landscape in the city.”
The rooms have new decor with custom wall murals featuring the Indianapolis skyline, new carpeting and wallpaper.

The hotel also offers the M Club Lounge for members of the Marriott rewards program, with round-the-clock access to high-speed internet service as well as complimentary breakfast, drinks and snacks.
And the hotel features the Rye Bar lounge as well as Loaf + Vine Market for grab-and-go food.•
