Ghostly travelers still haunt historic Union Station. Listed on National Register of Historic Places and America's first Union Station, the magnificent Romanesque revival-style building is home to 273-room Crowne Plaza hotel with indoor swimming pool, free WiFi and business center.
Steps away from major downtown attractions, Crowne Plaza lets guests sleep in authentic Pullman train cars still resting on original tracks. Cars are named in honor of early 1900s personalities, such as Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo. Or guests can stay in a hotel room.
Dining includes 123 West for breakfast and lunch and Taggart's Lounge for lunch and dinner plus handcrafted cocktails.
A popular hotel feature is white fiberglass ghost travelers dressed in period clothing. A little girl in old-timey dress holds her mother's hand as they wait for a train. A conductor checks his pocket watch for the next train. The figures add a nice touch of yesteryear.

Indianapolis Local Expert
- Best for Family-Friendly Hotels Because: Staying in an historic railroad Union Station is a treat for all ages. Sort of like sleeping in a museum.
- Best for Hotels near Lucas Oil Stadium Because: Only .2 miles from Lucas Oil Stadium, Crowne Plaza is definitely prime location. Plus it's in historic Union Station where "Iron Horses" (trains) still run.
- Recommended as Best Hotels Because: Union Station operates as an active train station. The muffled rumblings of trains regularly passing through adds to the ambiance of staying in Crowne Plaza.
