InterContinental Indianapolis, a striking addition to the city’s downtown landscape, recently opened in the historic Illinois Building at 17 West Market Street. Part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, the hotel is the first high-end hotel launch in Indianapolis in two decades.
Combining historic grandeur with contemporary elegance, the 170-room hotel offers a refined setting for meetings, corporate events and social gatherings.
The Illinois Building, originally constructed in 1925, was once listed as one of Indiana’s most endangered properties before Keystone Group, a locally based developer, stepped in to revitalize it. The $120 million transformation preserved the building’s architectural integrity, including its ornate brass doors and granite-and-limestone facade, while adding modern design elements, including a rooftop bar—the first in the city.
Elevated Meeting and Event Spaces
For meeting planners and corporate groups seeking a sophisticated downtown venue, InterContinental Indianapolis offers over 5,000 sf of versatile event space. The centerpiece is a 2,500-sf ballroom ideal for galas, weddings and corporate gatherings. Complementing the ballroom is an executive boardroom and a selection of private meeting spaces, all featuring state-of-the-art audiovisual capabilities. The hotel’s dedicated events team provides tailored services to accommodate a range of events, from intimate receptions to high-profile corporate functions.
A Culinary Destination
Dining is an integral part of the InterContinental experience, and the hotel delivers a lineup of exceptional culinary venues. Astrea Rooftop Bar, overlooking Monument Circle, provides an elevated atmosphere for networking events and cocktail receptions. With an expertly curated menu that includes the signature Monument G&T and the Cardinal Crown, Astrea sets a new standard for Indianapolis’ social scene.
On the second floor, Serliana serves as a dynamic gathering spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner, offering locally inspired dishes crafted by award-winning Indiana Chef Craig Baker. Meanwhile, Hyde Park Steakhouse on the ground floor provides a refined dining experience for business travelers and corporate guests looking to entertain in an upscale setting.

The 170 guestrooms and suites at InterContinental Indianapolis are designed with luxury and comfort in mind. Each room features plush BeautyRest Black Label mattresses, 300-thread-count linens and ensuite bathrooms with double vanities and walk-in showers. Select suites offer soaking tubs, while the exclusive Penthouse Suite boasts floor-to-ceiling views of downtown Indianapolis.
An Unparalleled Location
Situated just steps from Monument Circle, the Indiana State Capitol and major cultural attractions, the hotel offers convenient access to Indianapolis’ vibrant business and entertainment districts.
