Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. plans to debut its Le Méridien brand in Indianapolis. Following a $9.5 million renovation of the Historic Canterbury Hotel, Le Méridien Indianapolis will unveil a chic design ethos that juxtaposes the hotel’s historic architecture with a contemporary style.
The historic Canterbury site, dating back to 1858, was rebuilt in 1928 as a hotel. As part of the comprehensive renovation, Le Méridien Indianapolis will house 100 modern guestrooms, a redesigned restaurant and lounge, and more than 1,750 square feet of meeting and event space.
“The major revitalization and rebranding of this special property will bring back the character of this hotel in a new and modern way,” says Jim Merkel, president and CEO of Rockbridge, owners of the hotel.
