Historic theater hotel with bowling alley, rooftop bar and speakeasy in Indianapolis

Historic Building with Entertainment Venues

The Fountainview Inn occupies the third floor of a 1930s theater building in Fountain Square. The building contains two duckpin bowling alleys on the fourth floor, a rooftop bar with city views, and a secret speakeasy called The Commodore. An Italian restaurant operates on the first floor, and a traditional American restaurant serves American cuisine with vegetarian options.

Unique Rooms

The hotel offers 10 distinctively different rooms, converted from former offices in the historic theater. Each room includes a kitchenette, tea and coffee maker, and free WiFi. Some rooms provide a jet bathtub and a separate living room area, and free laundry facilities are available for guest use.

Prime Location

The hotel is steps from Fountain Square Theatre and a short walk from the HiFi music venue. Lucas Oil Stadium is 2.8 km away, and Indianapolis International Airport is 14 km away. Free street parking is available, with a designated lot at Goodwill one block away.

Guest Amenities and Services

Private check-in and check-out is provided, with keys distributed at the bowling alley on the fourth floor. The elevator requires a guest-only key for after-hours access, and the ground floor has keypad entry. Room service and a bar are available within the building.

On-Site Dining Options

A traditional American restaurant with vegetarian options operates within the building. The bar serves drinks, and the rooftop bar offers city views. Guests can also visit the speakeasy The Commodore for cocktails.

“This hotel is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience, a retro vibe with modern perks like a rooftop bar and even a bowling alley. The location nails it, with walkable access to Indianapolis's best spots, so I think it's a great alternative to the predictable chain options. The unique, individually decorated rooms suggest a personalized touch that's hard to find elsewhere.”
