This is the Most Unique Hotel in Indiana

According to Thrillist, the most unique hotel in Indiana is Crowne Plaza Union Station in Indianapolis. Here's what Thrillist had to say:

The Crowne Plaza that took over Indianapolis' once sleepy Historic Union Station might not look like much at first glance, but make your way past the registration desk and into the large, atrium-like center and you’ll quickly realize this ain’t your grandad’s Midwestern chain hotel. Life-sized, eerily white sculptures lurk in the corners, depicting travelers in old-fashioned dress, some hawking newspapers, some clutching bags or the hands of small children, apparently waiting for their train to come in.

Train Car Hotel Rooms In Indianapolis

You read that right. You can actually spend the night in a train car that has been converted into a hotel room in Indianapolis. Crown Plaza Hotel offers two different types of train car hotel rooms that you can sleep in. There is a King Bed Pullman Train Car and 2 Double Bed Pullman Train Car. Which type you choose to stay in ultimately depends on how many people you have in your party. Train cars aren't known for being very big, so don't expect a spacious room. However, the rooms look very cozy, and it's just a pretty cool experience overall.
