If you're exploring Indiana and wondering where to recharge, I’ve got some personal favorites to share. Over the years—especially in my 25 as a travel writer—I’ve stayed in places that truly capture the spirit of the state. These Indiana hotels combine comfort, charm, and that warm local touch you don’t always find in big chains. Whether you’re after a peaceful retreat or a vibrant city base, I can point you to just the right spot.
Highlights (from my own travels):
- I once spent a weekend at a lakeside resort in Northern Indiana—you’ll love the quiet, the water views, and that fresh morning air.
- If you’re drawn to charm, I recommend the historic inns in towns like Nashville and Madison. I’ve stayed in a few, and they ooze character.
- When I’m in the city, I usually pick a modern hotel in Indianapolis. You’ll appreciate being close to museums, restaurants, and sports venues.
- I’ve also bunked down in rustic lodges near state parks—perfect after a day on the trails. You’ll feel miles away from everything (in the best way).
- And for romantic getaways? I always suggest a countryside B&B. Think fireplaces, wine on the porch, and slow mornings. You’ll thank me later.
