The Ritz-Carlton to Join Indy's Growing Luxury Hotel Portfolio

Indianapolis continues to elevate its meetings and events landscape with a major new development that reinforces what planners already know: Indy offers sophisticated, high-end experiences in the heart of a highly connected downtown.

Rising at the prominent corner of Pennsylvania and Georgia Streets, directly across from Gainbridge Fieldhouse and steps from the city’s most iconic sports and entertainment corridor, a new mixed-use development is reshaping the downtown skyline. The project will bring Indianapolis its first Ritz-Carlton Hotel, a 4,000-capacity live music venue operated by Live Nation, and new retail offerings that further activate the Georgia Street experience. The music venue is scheduled to open in fall 2027, with The Ritz-Carlton Indianapolis welcoming guests in early 2028.

For meeting planners, this development expands an already impressive lineup of luxury accommodations downtown. Indianapolis is home to premier brands including the JW Marriott Indianapolis, Signia by Hilton Indianapolis, Conrad Indianapolis, and the InterContinental Indianapolis. With the addition of The Ritz-Carlton, attendees will have even more upscale options to choose from, all within walking distance of the Indiana Convention Center and major sports and entertainment venues.

The Ritz-Carlton Indianapolis will feature 176 guest rooms, including multiple suites, along with 11,500 square feet of ballroom and meeting space, a spa and fitness center, upscale dining, and a private guest lounge. A pedestrian skybridge will connect the hotel directly to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, adding convenience for groups hosting large-scale events.

Together, these luxury brands offer planners flexibility, premium service, and a cohesive downtown experience that meets the expectations of today’s most discerning attendees. In Indianapolis, luxury is not an exception. It is a choice planners can confidently offer their groups.
