Indianapolis welcomes new luxury hotel
Le Méridien, an upscale, luxury hotel chain, has opened a new location in downtown Indianapolis.
According to a December 3, 2014 news article, the new hostelry takes over the historic Canterbury Hotel. The hotel, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1928 and was then known as the Lockerbie Hotel. It was sold in 1936, and renamed the Warren. It was sold a second time in the 1980s, revamped as a luxury property, and opened as the Canterbury Hotel. Le Méridien is thus the fourth hotel to be located in the building.
For this renovation, which cost about $13m, hotel investment firm RockBridge made expensive renovations to the interior, but left the historic facade almost complete untouched. The hotel is luxurious, as each room has a king-size bed, a flat-screen television, a coffee machine, and complementary access to the Internet. In-room refrigerators can be stocked upon request.
The executive suites and rooms have even more upgrades, including separate living rooms, an LCD television mounted behind the bathroom mirror, and oversized showers. There are only 10 such suites in the hotel, which is smoke free.
Hotel management might like to work with brochure printers to create a booklet, complete with photos, that shows the hotel's amenities. Such a brochure could be placed in racks at airports, train depots, restaurants, and similar venues, where potential guests would see it.
