Signia by Hilton Indianapolis Tops Out at 38 Stories

Now 62 percent complete and on track to open in fall 2026, the 38-story, 800-room Signia by Hilton will redefine Indy’s connected convention campus. Once open, it will feature nearly 100,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 50,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom, the largest in Indiana and one of the largest in the country. Two other ballrooms are in construction, the junior (15,668-sq-ft) and signature (9,000-sq-ft) ballrooms.

A climate-controlled skywalk will connect the hotel directly to the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, expanding Indy’s walkable campus to 12 connected hotels with more than 5,200 rooms, the most of any city nationwide.

Guests can expect seven dining options, a sky bar and pool, wellness-focused guest rooms, and Club Signia, a premium experience for business and leisure travelers.

To mark the occasion, officials signed a steel beam that will become a permanent part of the hotel as construction continues.

The Signia by Hilton development has already secured $1.3 billion in retained convention business and generated interest in $1 billion in new bookings, with groups reserving space as far out as 2036.

During the ceremony, Visit Indy President & CEO Leonard Hoops announced that the American Society of Safety Professionals will host its annual meeting in June 2030, using the Signia Grand Ballroom for a 10,000-person general session. That event alone is projected to generate $11.5 million in economic impact for the city.

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett called the project “a sign of all the success that is to come,” while Capital Improvement Board Executive Director Andy Mallon emphasized how the expansion will allow the city to host larger and more culturally significant events.

To date, construction has created more than 2,300 local jobs and involved over 100 Indiana subcontractors, reflecting Indy’s deep local pride and craftsmanship.
