Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Downtown Union Station Unveils a Historic Transformation
Rediscover one of Indy’s most iconic hotels. The newly renovated Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Downtown Union Station combines historic architecture, modern meeting spaces, and unbeatable downtown connectivity for planners and attendees alike.

Planners seeking a venue that blends character, convenience, and contemporary design will want to take a fresh look at the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Downtown Union Station. The hotel has completed a multi-million-dollar renovation, enhancing guest rooms, meeting spaces, and public areas while preserving the charm of America’s first Union Station, where Thomas Edison once worked as a telegraph operator.
The updates bring modern comfort and state-of-the-art meeting technology to one of Indy’s most iconic addresses. Flexible layouts, upgraded AV capabilities, and refreshed design details create inspiring spaces for meetings, conferences, and social events. The renovation also reinforces Indianapolis’ reputation as one of the nation’s most connected convention cities, where hotels, venues, and entertainment are all steps apart and linked by enclosed skywalks.
“We are very excited to reintroduce Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Downtown Union Station with these new updates,” said Jim Dora, Jr., President & CEO General Hotels Corporation. “This renovation reflects our commitment to offering an excellent experience for our guests, whether they’re here for business, leisure, or a special event, while preserving the rich history that makes this property so unique.”
Connected to the Indiana Convention Center and within walking distance of Lucas Oil Stadium, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and dozens of restaurants and attractions, the Crowne Plaza’s revitalization is part of a larger wave of downtown hospitality investments that continue to elevate Indy’s status as a premier meetings destination. Attendees can experience the city’s energy, walkable convenience, and signature Hoosier hospitality at every turn.
