Family Staycation at Conrad Indianapolis

Indianapolis is such a fun, vibrant city. We love taking family trips to the city to discover what’s new but there’s never enough time! Conrad Indianapolis was nice enough to put us up for two nights so we could have a family staycation downtown. When I say family staycation, I mean the entire family, babies and pets included! Needless to say, we were a hit with the Conrad staff and other guests staying for the weekend.

Right off the bat we felt welcome with the quick valet service right out front and a bellman to carry the ridiculous amount of luggage we packed. We somehow managed to pack more for that weekend stay than we did our previous week in Florida. Once we marveled over the revolving door and Chihuly-inspired chandelier in the lobby we headed up to our room to a special surprise. Our room was fitted with something special for each member of the family: a pack n’ play and onesie for Lilly, a dog bed, bowls and bandanna for Lexi, a fruit bowl for Sophia and wine and charcuterie for Jeffrey and I.

Room Service is a Must

I have yet to go to a hotel and not get room service so I knew we had to introduce the awesomeness to our girls. We started by ordering dessert for our late-night movie party on Friday night. The GM had suggested the Sugar Cream Pie and we also got the Chocolate Cake. I must admit, the sugar cream pie was warm and absolutely decadent. I did not regret our choices.

The next morning we opted for breakfast in bed and did not hold back. Calories don’t count in a hotel, right? Jeffrey was very happy with the Biscuits and Gravy with Potatoes. Sophia and I were even happier with the Chicken and Waffles and French Toast with Berry Compote. Fresh squeezed Orange Juice was the perfect addition to our sweet breakfast.

Family Pool Party

Conrad Indianapolis is one of the only downtown Indianapolis hotels that has an indoor pool. Our family requires a pool during our hotel stays. Not only is there a pool but also a large hot tub and a spa. The pool area had lots of comfortable lounge chairs and big fluffy towels to snuggle up in after our swim.

Don’t Forget Your Pup

One of the most exciting parts of our entire stay was bringing our dog Lexi. We’ve never taken her to the city so everything was very new to her. She was happy to keep watch over us at the big picture windows and snuggle in the beds while we were out of the room. I’m not saying she could be a city dog but she definitely had the best of the best at Conrad!

The things I’ll remember most about our stay with Conrad Indianapolis is how hospitable their staff was to us at every step of the way. Each person I spoke with was cheerful, kind and helpful. We had the opportunity to spend the entire day strolling around the mall shopping and eating without being worried about driving home. Our downtown trips area always so scheduled and by staying at Conrad we were able to slow down and let Sophia choose what we did. Turns out, room service, swimming, shopping and movies are all our family needs to have the perfect family staycation.
