Best for conventions, large events and skyline dinner experiences thanks to skywalk access, extensive meeting space and The Eagle's Nest.

Best for no-frills downtown business stays and meetings where reliable basics (free in-room Wi‑Fi, fitness center, event rooms) matter.
When Hyatt Regency Indianapolis wins: choose Hyatt if you need large, flexible event space tied directly to the Indiana Convention Center, want the only revolving rooftop restaurant in Indiana (The Eagle’s Nest), or prefer a hotel built around conventions with a family-friendly indoor pool and multiple dining outlets.
When Crowne Plaza Hotel Indianapolis Downtown wins: pick Crowne Plaza if you want a recognizable IHG downtown option focused on practical guest services — free Wi‑Fi in all rooms, on-site meeting facilities and a central address close to downtown transit — without the convention-hotel scale or higher rates that can come with it.
Bottom line: both are full-service downtown hotels serving business travelers and groups; Hyatt is the choice for larger events and a more feature-rich downtown stay, while Crowne Plaza is a simpler, well-located alternative for travelers prioritizing straightforward amenities and value.
