Residence Inn Indianapolis Downtown On The Canal Unveils Innovative Renovation

Total Redesign Of Suites And Public Spaces Allow Extended Stay Guests To Thrive On The Road

Merrillville, Ind.- White Lodging Services is pleased to announce the Residence Inn Indianapolis Downtown on the Canal has undergone a complete renovation of its 134 suites and public spaces, transforming it into an upscale hotel, designed to enhance the comfort and lifestyle of travelers on the road today. The newly refreshed hotel, owned by RLJ Lodging Trust and located at 350 W. New York St., offers guests flexible spaces and amenities to help maintain a healthy balance and routine while traveling.

Located near a variety of downtown attractions such as The Children’s Museum, the Indianapolis Zoo, White River State Park, Lucas Oil Stadium, Banker’s Life Field House and the Indianapolis Convention Center, the hotel is a perfect rest stop for the city. The Residence Inn Indianapolis Downtown on the Canal is also located 8 miles from Indianapolis International Airport.

“When on the road for an extended period, our guests need space to spread out, to maintain their life’s pace and restore their energy,” said Diane Mayer, vice president and global brand manager, Residence Inn. “Residence Inn offers a seamless blend of modern style and functionality that allows them to settle in and thrive.”

The spacious, residential-style suites offer accommodations that are larger than traditional hotel guestrooms. The spacious layout provides separate zones where guests can relax, work, eat, and sleep, thereby maintaining their routines while away from home. The updated kitchens outfitted with full-sized refrigerators and stainless steel appliances make living on the road easier for both business travelers on long stays and families on holiday. With a larger, expansive workspace, free high speed Internet access, and a multitude of easily accessible outlets, guests are able to work efficiently throughout the suite. Thirty-seven inch flat screen televisions and luxurious bathrooms with extra storage space make it possible for travelers to live and rest comfortably.

Conveying the same feeling of comfortable living on the road, the hotel’s re-designed public spaces have been transformed into multi-functional living spaces where guests can relax or collaborate on their own terms. The new open communal living space allows guests to connect with friends, family or colleagues in a modern living room style lounge and around the firepit in the outdoor open-air living room. Free Wi-Fi and private “nooks” with personal high-definition flat screen televisions provide a private/public work space outside of the suite.

With more than 620 hotels in North America, Europe and South America, Residence Inn, a Marriott power brand credited with introducing the extended-stay lodging segment 37 years ago, offers guests lower rates for longer stays. With a free hot breakfast offered every day that features a variety of quality items and healthy alternatives, Residence Inn helps guests prepare for the day ahead and maintain a healthy balance while on the road. In addition to the robust free hot breakfast offering, other valuable amenities include grocery delivery service, 24-hour market, fully functional kitchens in each suite, fitness room and guest laundry room.
