Signia Hilton Indianapolis unveiled its signature culinary and beverage experiences ahead of the hotel’s highly anticipated opening on Dec. 9.
The property’s restaurants, bars and gathering spaces are set to introduce new venues where travelers and locals can connect in downtown Indianapolis.
“Bringing Signia Hilton to Indianapolis represents a meaningful milestone for the brand’s continued growth in the Midwest and reinforces our vision of Signia Hilton as a partner in guests’ pursuit of progress, passion and celebration,” said Brian Abel, senior vice president, food and beverage operations and development, Americas, Hilton. “Through StiR Creative Collective, we’ve created dining and bar concepts that celebrate Indianapolis’ culture and creativity while fostering connection, discovery and a strong sense of place, all delivered through Signia Hilton’s exceptional service.”
According to a statement, this hotel is set to offer 803 rooms for guests. The hotel will also be connected by skywalk to the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium.
At the heart of the hotel, a triple-height atrium will connect reception, lounges, dining and event spaces. The atrium’s sculptural centerpiece — an abstract, architectural interpretation of an oil barrel — will reference the city’s industrial and motorsport heritage.
Local officials have praised the hotel’s presence and construction, seeing its arrival as a major development for the downtown skyline and hospitality scene.
“If Indianapolis wants to keep rising as a city and as a prime destination for people from all over the world, it is vital that we invest in projects like the Signia by Hilton and expand the Indiana Convention Center,” Mayor Joe Hogsett said earlier this month. “The way this building is transforming our skyline is truly a sign of all the success that is to come.”
Culinary highlights include:
- Torchlight: Crowning the hotel’s 38th floor, Torchlight will be a two-story rooftop cocktail lounge offering a wide view of Indianapolis. Inspired by the torch at the center of the Indiana state flag, the hotel’s signature venue will pair cocktails, spirits and shareable plates with an atmosphere that, according to a statement, “evolves from golden-hour gatherings to late-night celebrations.” The cocktail program is being developed in collaboration with Devon Tarby, acclaimed beverage consultant and co-founder of Gin & Luck, the hospitality group behind the renowned Death & Co brand.
- Rosewater’s: Rosewater’s will serve as the hotel’s social focal point, opening onto the Georgia Street promenade intended for guests to unwind or enjoy their favorite sporting events on large-screen TVs. The lobby bar will offer a curated selection of regional, corn-based spirits alongside bar snacks.
- Heartwood: Opening first for breakfast and lunch before expanding to all-day dining in the spring, Heartwood will feature gathering spaces along the perimeter of the restaurant, designed for semi-private events.
- Slipstream: Inspired by Indianapolis’ racing heritage, Slipstream will combine a café, espresso bar and market, each designed for the pace of modern travel. The business will offer specialty coffee, fresh pastries, sandwiches, salads and grab-and-go options throughout the day.
- Deck on 5: The seasonal rooftop pool deck will offer a resort-style retreat with skyline views, lounge seating and private cabanas, meant to create a relaxed daytime escape between meetings or moments downtown.
- Club Signia: Club Signia will offer a personalized lounge experience with dedicated service, curated food and beverage presentations and spaces designed for productivity and relaxation.
The property will also debut a third-party upscale dining destination in summer 2027, further enhancing the hotel’s food and beverage offerings. Additional details will be announced at a later date.
Reservations are available at Hilton.com, for stays from Dec. 9, 2026, and reservations for the food and beverage experiences will be available via OpenTable.
The Signia Hilton Indianapolis is located at 101 W Georgia St.
