The Bistro offers Starbucks coffee and healthy menu options along with cocktails, wine, and beer for guests looking to unwind in the lobby’s varied social spaces. Guestrooms feature complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, 32″ LCD HDTVs, “The New Bed by Courtyard,” and in-room whirlpools in select suites. The hotel is centrally located between the Indianapolis International Airport and downtown Indianapolis, with easy access to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indiana State Fairgrounds, and Indianapolis Convention Center.
