The SpringHill Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown and Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown are opening for business on Thursday, February 18. These two properties join the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown and TGI Friday’s (opened February 3) and the JW Marriott Indianapolis Downtown (opening February, 2011) to make up the landmark, $450 million Indianapolis Marriott Place development, which is changing the face of downtown Indianapolis.

“Just as Indianapolis is continuing to grow, Marriott Place is growing with the addition of these two new properties,” said Michael Kauffeld, general manager of the SpringHill Suites and Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown. “With these two new hotels now open, travelers to Indianapolis have more options than ever before, steps from great attractions like White River State Park, the NCAA Hall of Champions, the Indiana State Museum and the Convention Center.”

The SpringHill Suites is targeted to business and leisure travelers who are looking for dependable service, exceptional value, and amenities like a complimentary breakfast, free wireless Internet service and indoor pool.

With 156 comfortable, oversized guest suites, the SpringHill Suites was created with a Midwest Modern design, featuring blues, greens and light wood accents. The lobby welcomes guests with a large check-in area, and a breakfast section where each morning guests will find the complimentary “Suites Seasons” breakfast.

The Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown offers 297 spacious guest rooms and amenities like a lobby GoBoard – a large screen that spotlights news, weather and local events; free high-speed wireless Internet; and The Bistro restaurant and bar, serving Starbucks Coffee. The Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown is particularly appealing to business travelers looking to maximize the efficiency of every stay.

Both the SpringHill Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown and Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown were developed by White Lodging and REI Real Estate Services.
