Your hotel in Indianapolis

A city steeped in legend and history, Indianapolis remains firmly focused on culture and sport. Steve McQueen's hometown hosts many sporting events, such as the Pan American Games, motor races and various football competitions. Make the most of your stay to attend one of these events.

Start exploring the city at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Motor racing fans and race car enthusiasts alike will enjoy the site and its souvenir shop.

Continue to the Capitol, which stands proudly in the centre of the city, before heading to Monument Circle. This landmark is a true marvel, with its statue, fountains and pools that serve as the city's central square. But Indianapolis is also devoted to art and culture, and many museums will catch your eye, such as the Indiana State Museum, focused on history, or the Museum of American Indians and Western Art, dedicated to the first inhabitants.

While motor sport reigns supreme, American football is not far behind, with Lucas Oil Stadium, a complex that can hold nearly 70,000 spectators. Attend a game and feel the excitement and passion that erupt whenever a touchdown is scored by the opposing team.

Of course, there is much more to Indianapolis than that, and its downtown architecture deserves a closer look. While Saint John Church, with its Walt Disney air, is a must-see, the Indiana War Memorial pays tribute to all who fought. Finally, Lockerbie Square Historic District features small brightly coloured cottages, all set along tree-lined cobbled lanes.
