JW Marriott Indianapolis is a hotel in downtown Indianapolis, adjacent to the Indiana Convention Center. The new JW Marriott Indianapolis is part of the $450 million Marriott Place, consisting of five Marriott hotels all connected to the Indiana Convention Center. The City of Indianapolis contributed $48 million to the project.[4] The hotel is 34 floors and 376 feet (115 m) tall, making it the 7th-tallest building in Indianapolis and tallest hotel in Indiana.[3][5][6] The facility also has a 950 space underground parking garage.[3] It is the largest JW Marriott hotel in the United States based on its 1,013 guest rooms and is owned and managed by White Lodging.

The hotel features 54 meeting rooms with a total of 104,000 square feet, three restaurants, and the largest ballroom of any hotel in the Midwest and also one of the largest Marriott ballrooms in the world.[7] The JW Marriott Indianapolis has three restaurants.[8]
According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, the JW Marriott Indianapolis has 600 full-time employees. As of 2023, three dining options were located in the hotel, including High Velocity, Osteria Pronto (OP) Italian, and Starbucks.[9]

[edit]Since its opening in 2011, the JW Marriott Indianapolis has displayed numerous "jumbo" graphics on its east-facing concave curtain wall. Indianapolis-based Sport Graphics is the exclusive partner for the displays, which have included the Vince Lombardi Trophy (commemorating Super Bowl XLVI), an NCAA bracket (commemorating the 2015 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship Game), the Borg-Warner Trophy (commemorating the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500), and Taylor Swift for The Eras Tour.[10]
