The indianapolis amtrak station is a visual masterpiece. Designed by Thomas Rodd and completed in 1888, it reflects the majestic Romanesque Revival style—characterized by massive stonework, semicircular arches, and detailed carvings.
When you enter the station, you’re instantly transported to another time. The high vaulted ceilings, detailed moldings, and restored interiors speak volumes about the craftsmanship of an era when even travel hubs were built as cathedrals of progress.
But this isn’t just a building frozen in the past—it’s alive with purpose. Today, the station houses both Amtrak services and the elegant Crowne Plaza Hotel, which has cleverly integrated original Pullman train cars into its guest rooms. These restored carriages, once symbols of luxury rail travel, now offer visitors a chance to sleep in a piece of living history.
The result? A space where modern travelers can experience the nostalgia of rail’s golden age without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
