Don’t do it if it’s going to half a•
-sed. This city needs to go big instead of these scaled down / cheap products.
Put all that back that you took away and find the money! And build that Hotel,some Housing an entertainment district and retail area! You are losing money yearly by bullsitting!!! Go Big!!!! Who is behind this??? Shame them!!! Invite investors and stop bullsitting!!!
Needed to combat with interest rates and the fact our hospitality market is still, and probably always will be, challenged by rate (ADR).
Good to see Shiel Sexton in on the pork. Typical.
Yeah, and the CSO extra pork sounds a bit heavy for revisions, like 100% more.
The decorative fountain was a loser from the beginning in our climate.
As our City’s gateway hotel it needs to be worthy of this prime location and of course make a great impression to our visitors.
Eliminating a bridge to parking (convenience),
a fountain (sound mitigation) and a pool (fitness) seem short sided to me.
Look at the Detroit Airport Westin… it has all those features.
So you decide to cut the walkway to the hotel?! REALLY? Who does that?!
The walkway was to the garage
If the things being eliminated save $57M, they must have been had gold in the construction material. Unreal
Sounds like an ill-fated project in the making.
How about sharing the hotel rendering and plot plan with IBJ readers?
They should make the full monty investment without cutting back the original vision.
Don’t see the logic in cutting back on parking bridge and planned temperature controlled walkways to the airport terminal. Seems short sighted.
No doubt the hotel would produce 10x the investment in airline tickets (more early morning/late night, weather diverted flights), parking fees from hotel guests, more aircraft landing fees and pilot/crew basing agreements.
Indianapolis airport should follow the Hilton Munich Airport Hotel design. Center glass lobby with surrounding hotel rooms. First level retail space including coworking space, Fedex Office, & restaurants on central lobby level. Enclosed temperature controlled walkway to airport terminal.
Place the hotel on the front of the garage with a new loop drive up to the hotel’s front entrance similar to the Indianapolis airport terminal. Allows for future hotel expansion and development.
Add on to the parking garage in the location the airport is now considering for the new airport hotel to accommodate the demand for more covered parking for hundreds of required additional hotel guest parking.

Wow it sounds like the consultants are doing consulting on the other consultants. Lots of money wasted on stuff that’s being redone again already. 3.4 million wasted.
Once again leaders here in Indiana thinking small. This isn’t Mayberry or is it? Just look at how the good folks in Nashville plan BIG! The hotel they’re building beside their airport makes this one look like a joke. The rest of the city has good momentum, why have this hotel look like all the other unimpressive hotels surrounding the area. Embarrassing that Jonathan Weinzapfel and others would build such a low level hotel next to an award winning airport makes absolutely NO sense at all.
Weinzapfel is the general counsel. Be angry at the board:

Maybe the concern was that the nearby hotels needed to be protected …
Cutting pool in our climate and the type of stays that would be in this hotel (not multi day or vacation) I can see. Cutting the walkways to the parking garage and/or terminal makes no sense at all. Needs to have very nice gym facilities and a restaurant with some retail, etc. Love the comment above about us being a perrenial award winning airport but trying to build a budget hotel next to it. Flawed planning.
