Trains are – and always have been – kind of a fascinating topic. They’re a reminder of human ingenuity, genius, and engineering. They’re pretty darn cool to watch, too, and train enthusiasts of the Hoosier State have a big reason to celebrate. Did you know that, in downtown Indy, there’s a hotel that offers overnight stays in REAL (refurbished and remodeled) train cars? Yep! It’s the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis, and this is one unique place to stay. Ever wonder about train car hotel rooms in Indiana? Well, now you can experience one for yourself. Check it out:

The Crowne Plaza Hotel itself is a sight to behold.
Management/TripAdvisor
It's nestled within the historic train shed of Indy's famed Union Station, and staying here is quite the experience.
The entire hotel is outrageously beautiful, with fascinating and elaborate architecture and modern, artsy decor; it feels like a feast for the senses, and in a way, it is.
Management/TripAdvisor
See the stunningly beautiful interior of the hotel lobby and common areas. Smell the delicious aroma of coffee brewing, breakfast cooking, and room service on demand (which tastes pretty amazing, too). Feel as relaxed as possible, unwinding and listening to your favorite music while you take everything in.
And when you're ready, head to your room - which, if you play your cards right, can be a room within an actual 1920s train car!
TravelingFamily/TripAdvisor
You read that right - you can stay the night in a luxuriously repurposed train car with all the same amenities galore that come with a stay in any room at Crowne Plaza.
