Ironworks Hotel Indy
For fans of an industrial aesthetic, Ironworks is the place to stay in and around Carmel. It is located around 7km from the city, in Indianapolis’ north side neighbourhood, less than a mile away from The Fashion Mall at Keystone, but it is worth the added distance. The look outside is that of a converted factory, and inside it doesn’t disappoint either, with exposed brick and ironwork in the rooms, giving a truly unique style. But despite this rustic décor, the rooms are packed with contemporary amenities, including a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and light-up magnifying make-up mirror. The hotel also offers a shopping experience, with 15,000 square feet of on-site retail, including local boutique stores and brand-name shopping. From €229.
