  1. Have always loved staying at the Intercontinental in Chicago and excited that we have one here. Such a more noble use for this lovely building! Keeping the faith for downtown!

  2. Very attractive development. I can only imagine the great deals that will be negotiated inside for other projects around the city. Great views of the circle as well. Indy has a jewel with the monument and the city should do even more to capitalize on it. Definitely gives a European vibe and architecture.

    1. Great location for the hotel and the brand. I agree Monument Circle is a great city space and statement but for some reason the city and its residents have never quite been able to figure out how to best utilize that great urban landmark. There have been attempts, a few hits, more misses. There are some architectural gems there with wonderful curves and setbacks: Christ Church, Columbia Club, Circle Tower, Circle Theater. So do you close it to traffic, reduce traffic, add more trees and landscaping, more, or less of something? Frankly even Christmas on the Circle could use an imaginative upgrade –it gets a little tired, and rote. Again, it’s just a great and grand space that I think could be a bit better with private and public imagination.

    2. David B, no we never ever close the Circle to traffic, never, except for short term special events, and that does Not include the ridiculous spark. What’s needed is street level retail on all four quadrants, which is missing on about all four. Individual retail and food places will bring back the foot traffic, and thus the life the Circle begs for. Corporate fronts on almost all sides has killed what the circle was and should be.
      Begin with the complete demolition of the former Anthem building and redevelop as a mixed use with retail fronts in a designed rhythm. AES, Emmis, Chase, and now the Intercontinental need to redo their street levels into inviting retail food and shop stores.

  3. just stayed again at the Intercontinental in Chicago for Valentines Day since the date for the Indy location got pushed back. Had a great time as always, looking forward to staying here very soon!

  4. To all those naysayers who questioned if this project would ever be realized, here’s the proof that not only did it happen but that the Keystone Group knows how to do these projects with perfection and quality. Hats off to the KG for yet another property that makes Indianapolis a class act!
