4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Indianapolis

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Indianapolis is during January, February, and September, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to experience the city’s rich history and culture, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended, allowing ample time to visit significant landmarks, museums, and art galleries. Visitors can explore various attractions, including sports venues, monuments, and theatres, making it a trip that offers great value for money. With the possibility that prices may drop during these months, it’s an excellent opportunity for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Indianapolis, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on accommodations as your travel date approaches. To enhance your chances of spotting the best prices, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications for flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool available in the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, you'll stay informed about price drops or room availability, making it easier to book your ideal Indianapolis getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in an Indianapolis hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and could offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, assisting you in finding the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels located near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Indianapolis's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less populated neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
