Travel back to the romantic past at the Canterbury Hotel. This National Historic Landmark was built in 1928 and has retained much of its Jazz Age splendor without sacrificing modern comforts. The rooms are luxurious, decorated with Chippendale furniture and four-poster beds decked in Irish linen. The bathrooms are constructed of fine marble with elegant fittings. A mahogany-paneled sitting room off the lobby has a carved wooden fireplace and exquisite library and is the perfect place to relax and converse. The lobby itself is a work of art, furnished with antiques and offering a stately yet comfortable ambiance.
Arriving in Indianapolis, you can have the Canterbury's Mercedes limousine pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel. The atmosphere is "veddy" British with afternoon tea served in the atrium. The focus at the Canterbury is on personal service.
The Restaurant at Canterbury features American and Continental fare. Candlelight dining, wood paneling, and a hunting theme decor add to the romantic atmosphere along with the superb cuisine. After dinner at the Restaurant at Canterbury, you can take a horse-drawn carriage through downtown Indianapolis, or enjoy a quiet cocktail in the hotel's lounge.
The location can't be beat. The Canterbury is close to the train station, convention center, Monument Circle, and Hoosier Dome. A Canterbury Honeymoon package includes champagne and strawberries on arrival and continental breakfast the next morning.
