INDIANAPOLIS — The city's newest boutique hotel will start checking in its first overnight guests on Tuesday in the highly-anticipated Bottleworks District.

Along cobblestone streets at the north end of Mass Ave, the Bottleworks District — a $300 million development that has spanned months reimagining a 1930's Coca-Cola bottling plant — encompasses the Bottleworks Hotel, a theatre, food hall, shops, parking garage, and more entertainment.

The Bottleworks Hotel is part of the district's first phase of fully opening. The 139-room building boasts a white terra-cotta exterior and brightly tiled interior, allowing for Insta-worthy details along its historic architecture. At the main entrance, a hand railing winds up the hotel staircase in a decorated stairwell that resembles vintage soda fountains, while the ceiling design resembles fizz.

Businesses featured on the hotel's first floor are cocktail bar "Sundry & Vice," Cunningham Restaurant Group’s new Asian restaurant concept, "Modita," "Blue Collar Coffee," "Good Neighbor," and "The W Nail Bar."

The Bottleworks Hotel opens its doors to guests for the first time on Tuesday, Dec. 15.

Guest rooms start at around $250, where there are seven levels to distinct experiences. From the "Classic King" to the "Pemberton Penthouse," each room comes with Gilchrist & Soames bath products, plush bathrobes, spa bathroom treatments, a Keurig with Starbucks coffee and tea, a stocked in-room minibar, a flat panel TV, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, work stations and in-room safes. Amenities include multiple meeting rooms, a fitness center, a courtyard, and room service.

“The grand opening of Bottleworks Hotel is a huge milestone for Bottleworks District and for the city of Indianapolis,” Jeff Whiteman, the chief operating officer for Geronimo Hospitality Group, said. “The restoration of the Coca-Cola bottling works administration building transformed into the boutique Bottleworks Hotel showcases the best of Indianapolis, giving guests both near and far a new way to stay.”
