Indianapolis convention travel
Where to stay near the Indiana Convention Center
Downtown Indianapolis is one of the most walkable convention cities in the country: the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium and many hotels sit within a few blocks, several joined by skywalks. During big shows, close-in rooms sell out first.
- Skywalk-connected hotels
- The most convenient base in winter or bad weather; confirm the property is actually on the skywalk network.
- Wholesale District & Monument Circle
- Restaurants and more hotel choices a short walk from the halls.
- Mass Ave & outer downtown
- Neighborhood dining and sometimes better value; compare the walk or ride each day.
Getting to the halls
- Most downtown hotels are within walking distance; enclosed skywalks link the convention center with several hotels and Lucas Oil Stadium.
- Skywalk hours are event-dependent; the venue says they usually close around 11 p.m. and reopen around 6 a.m. Check IndyGo and your organizer for airport and shuttle options.
Common questions before you book
- Which hotels connect to the Indiana Convention Center?
- Visit Indy reports about 5,200 hotel rooms connected to the convention center by enclosed skywalks, including the five-hotel Marriott IndyPlace anchored by the JW Marriott. The official skywalk map also shows connections to hotels such as the Hyatt Regency, Westin and Crowne Plaza at Union Station. Not every downtown hotel is connected, so check the map.
- Is Lucas Oil Stadium part of the convention center?
- Lucas Oil Stadium is connected to the Indiana Convention Center, and large shows such as Gen Con use both. Check which building your sessions or exhibit hall are in.
- Are the skywalks open all night?
- No. The venue says skywalk hours depend on the event, typically locking around 11 p.m. and reopening around 6 a.m.
