    1. It used to be that Indy had no 5-star hotels, and that was even with the Conrad. So it seems like a couple of older hotels have received an extra star.

    2. Le Meridian is a premium property, but I don’t believe that have a pool facility like the Conrad. I would guess the JW Mariott would be the only other contender in 5 star accommodations. The Westin is also a great property, but I don’t believe most Westin properties are 5 stars. To garner a 5 start rating, they usually have to have extensive facilities like pools, spas, room service and restaurants.

  1. Too bad the weather was crummy on Friday night because there were little to no fans outside when I walked around downtown that night even though they were setup for it with DJ’s, Hoops, etc. Don’t know if that improved on Saturday. Maybe Mass Ave. and The Garage area had a better crowd.

  2. Nice airport. Many empty gates. Significant unused capacity. Few large jets.

    Few non-stops. Many small jets. Inconvenient connections. No international flights to Europe and only one to Canada (Toronto) and one to Mexico. This is not great. No decent rail service.

    Perhaps Indy is a poor travel market from the standpoint of major airlines. Many search leisure flights and bargain prices and the business travel market from Indy apparently does not support a more robust roster of flights.

    What’s the plan — is the airport board doing anything to improve this unfortunate situation. With all the extra space, maybe propose Indy as an alt to O’Hare for intl connections (reality is few intl customers would be destined to Indy) . . . . but that would only work if a high-speed rail connection (meaning real/european high speed of up to 200mph) direct to the airport and linking to Chicago downtown and better yet, to both Chicago airports.

  3. They are getting Everything together going forward! Calm down ,the City is transforming from a Great American City and is stepping onto an international Stage for sure! And they will respond correctly!! Watch the Future. Gonna be Great!!!

  4. I remember similar hype after Indy hosted the Super Bowl. The NFL was going to look at doing more here. No Indy is doing everything it can to hold onto the combine and there are no other NFL properties here. In short, don’t hold your breath.
