Our organization has utilized the Renaissance for several years to host a Women's Empowerment Conference. The staff consistently provide excellent service, and the food is fresh, and displayed beautifully. Great space for an event! read more

I've only stayed here once on a business trip but I think going forward this is going to be my preferred choice when in Carmel. The space is huge making it a perfect spot for conventions, business and other visitors. They have a coffee bar opened each morning serving Starbucks drinks and sandwich along with full breakfast and dinner options (bar has a lovely wine selection). The room was comfy and quiet, all that jazz could ask for. Marriott beds are the best and the Renaissance was no exception. Staff was friendly and per usual, they have Aveda products in the bathroom which make my heart happy. No complaints at all about this place! read more

If you're looking for a nice, clean, quieter place to stay out of the hustle & bustle of Indy, the Renaissance is the place. We got a room the night before the Donut Judge 5K and it was great! Friendly staff, clean rooms and Aveda products in the bathroom which is a PLUS in my book. The decor is eye catching. We couldn't check in until after 4 which I found out later was because the Chicago Bears were there. Short but sweet.... Excellent stay. I would highly recommend if you want a clean good nights sleep! read more

We were in room 111 for 2 nights, and I deem Renaissance way overpriced at 254 a night considering the following: Its small bathroom has a sliding, somewhat see-through bathroom door and no fan. Privacy-loving people will hate that bathroom. It also has no towel racks or hooks, so piles of towels quickly got in the way. The main room was also small. The wastebaskets are TINY; we had to use grocery bags to augment. Overhead shower water pressure was weak. (Oddly the separate hand shower attachment had double the pressure. ) They put a volume limit on the TV. I get why that would be, but in our case we could scarcely hear the movie we wanted to watch at the max allowed volume. Pillows weren't very good, but then again most hotel pillows suck these days. Obviously the location is terrific if you want to be in the Carmel area bc of its immediate access to primary roads and interstate. I didn't hear traffic, which was great. I'm a well traveled middle aged person; this is NOT a 4 star hotel, it's just priced as if it were. read more

We stayed here for 2 weeks during our trip to Carmel. The location is great with plenty of restaurants around. The hotel rooms are clean, staff is friendly and do a great job housekeeping. They have good amenities - gym, swimming pool, restaurant and plenty of parking available. Overall, a great hotel for your stay when visiting Carmel. read more

I have never had such a great welcome from great staff in such a beautiful, clean, and well maintained hotel. The service is top notch, and the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD! All of the staff were friendly and eager to assist me and my family in any way they could. I would choose this hotel over ANY in the area and Indianapolis. read more

Enhance inclusivity. Beautiful location and hotel, rooms nice but staff appears to not have encountered diverse individuals in their work at the hotel. Visited the hotel lounge, which I have access to based on my membership level, was asked for room number, ok, it five additional individuals entered and not one was asked for room number. Requested upgrade, clerk indicated she provided upgrade but when i called corporate the upgrade was based on lounge access but I already have access read more

The rooms are fine, but if you want to have a meeting or event here, don't let them handle food. It's awful.

We stayed here the weekend of my oldest daughter's wedding. The hotel is quite nice, as can be expected from a hotel of this quality. With that said, I must say that the staff as a whole is absolutely excellent, even for a hotel of this quality! There is also a specific member of staff that stands out among even the excellent people working here. The bartender named Courtney is super nice and deserves special recognition! I had a great stay, and strongly recommend this hotel! read more

Very impressed with this property!!! From the moment we checked in, the staff was friendly and polite. They thanked us for our status with Bonvoy (something that doesn't always happen) and had a nice welcome gift in the room for us. Even though it was a Thanksgiving holiday week, the Concierge lounge was open most of the time and the hotel staff cleaned our rooms every day (another service that is becoming more rare). We will return here for every family visit to the area based on our delight with this hotel. My message to the management at this property: Job well done!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay. read more

Really great perks when traveling here on business. First the rooms were nice, clean, pretty standard rooms but the black soft comfy robe was absolutely amazing to lounge in. Breakfast and cocktail hour happens daily on the 8th floor and had a decent variety spread. The room service was my personal favorite. Flavorful and plentiful meals from Grille23. The staff was incredibly polite especially Teriz. Don't have much experience with the Marriott but this was a great business trip. read more

I was set up in the Renaissance for corporate training during. First thing, no bedbugs. HUGE fear of mine but this place is clean. They have a pool, a work out center, restaurant, and Starbucks. Nothing on the menu for lunch or dinner appealed to me so I can't comment but the breakfast buffet is decent. It had oatmeal, bagels, breads, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and one of French toast, pancakes, or waffles. I stayed in a double queen room. It was nice and clean. There are 40" (?) flatscreens and cable I think. I logged into my Netflix account for TV watching. The bathroom is normal but the shower head was really cool. I had a rainforest type with a handheld fixture as well. I didn't pay for my stay but if you're looking for a nice hotel within walking distance to Meijer and several restaurants this is a solid choice. read more

I am enjoying my stay so far and I love all the little touches. My pictures say it all. The bed is so awesome, I crawled back in after my workout for almost an hour and a half. It is soooooo quiet even though I was worried when I saw all the youth downstairs. They have me in the corner room, and it is easily the best in the hotel. Super comfortable. The room service staff are excellent and deserve kudos. Thank you Teriz, Shelby, Michelle, Dustin, Saleh, and Dee who brought my food this morning for the awesome customer service! read more

A+ to Henry, he was a joy to see every morning getting coffee and breakfast, very helpful and always a smile ...... Thanks Henry.

Everything you need for a good night's sleep or a rockin' conference. The rooms are comfy, classy, and immaculate. I slept great and would definitely recommend to someone who is visiting Carmel and wants a nice hotel to stay in that's in the suburb. There are two (maybe three?) ballrooms that are spacious and nice as well. Food can be catered and brought in them. The in-house restaurant is AWESOME and great at catering to individual needs (they can make a specific menu for your group if needed). Solid choice! read more

If you are someone who needs a nice hotel near IU North, stay here! I came in after a long day of appointments and tests. I was welcomed like I was an old friend. My room was immaculate!!! Nice big king bed with a fluffy comforter and plump pillows. I actually slept in which I never do. The bathroom was especially clean and the shower was a treat. (Plus aveda products to make you smell delightful!). There was a little fridge in the room which I like for water bottles. Icing on the "king cake" was coming in during Mardi Gras. I had spent the day "earning my beads" with exposing medical tests. I told the front desk about that trying to make myself feel better after a bad day when I was given beads as a reward. It was like giving a kid a sticker after a shot...magical!! Thank you for the nice night! read more

I stayed here for business last week. The hotel is nice. The rooms were clean. The king bed was comfy. The breakfast buffet was good, with quite a few options. The best part of my stay was dealing with Derek at the Starbucks coffee stand each day! He was a pleasure to talk to, he always went out of his way to make me happy. He is an outstanding employee! read more

Love grill 39 and the hotel. Love the hotel rooms and stuff is awesome. Love lunch and dinner menu

Initially we stayed and had a really bad experience. We felt that an employee treated disrespectfully. We complained to the night audit manager and he extended complementary dinner and Starbucks and told us to contact the morning manager. A day later, I spoke with Emily the morning manager who extended her deepest apologies and assured us that our next stay would be amazing. She's a woman of her word! The staff totally catered to us upon arrival and send us complimentary Chocolate strawberries and champagne. Shelby the front desk manager was great as well Teriz working in room service. They definitely regained our confidence, the hotel is beautiful and you'll enjoy your stay! read more

Renaissance Indianapolis North Hotel - Our complimentary delivery. - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

This hotel is a very nice hotel. I want to say that first of all. However, do not trust them to do what they say they will do. I left a few items in my hotel room and I called the hotel. The front desk said that they have the items. (Yay) I paid money for the hotel to ship the items for me. The UPS label was created and then nothing. I called and called and everyone was looking for the package. This has gone on for 2 weeks. The front desk manager has said that there is nothing that they can do. They won't even refund the money that I paid for shipping. UPS has no record of the pick up. Very frustrating that there is nothing that this Hotel can do to help me. read more

Customer service is Michelle Graham's #1 priority. They accommodate business travelers and traveling baseball teams while balancing the needs of all. Thank you, Michelle, for always making us feel special when we visit. read more

Very clean and nice hotel. It is a little ways off, about a 30mnt drive from Indy downtown, with little to no food options around. But the hotel rooms were spacious, clean bathrooms, good amenities and breakfast in the restaurant. They had a Tesla test drive campaign going on the weekend of the Indy 500 that made the stay special and memorable. read more

I never had the opportunity to book at this specific hotel, what the heck I booked a room. I was happy with the cleanliness and accommodating mannerisms of the staff. My room was on the 7th floor. The view was parking lot and a more industrialized site of the city. The bedding was comfortable, I didn't even want to get up. I ordered room service the night before and randomly ordered a variety of items for breakfast. Room service arrived on time, my tea with lemon hot and the bites of breakfast were delicious. The elevator seemed to run slow and WiFi was way too costly for my blood. This chair isn't comfortable either. I had the honor of waiting for the hotel elevator in it. read more

Renaissance Indianapolis North Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Great spot for dinner and to spend the night. I have been here twice for dinner as well as stayed over night! The room was beautiful, and a great temperature. The beds were perfectly made and it was an extremely comfortable stay, although a tad pricey. Dinner was lovely with a very nice menu! We had a set menu as it was a christmas dinner with family and the food was wonderful! The first time we ordered directly from their menu, i got the chicken sandwich and fries, everything is cooked beautifully and tasted amazing. I definitely recommend this spot if you're ever in need of a place to stay or dinner in Carmel. read more

This place has really poor customer service. I understand COVID issues cause problems but to be rude to customers and call them liars. Ridiculous. If your only looking for a clean place where you spend a lot of money, then this is the place. If you want service and friendly people, not it. read more

Tonight is my first ever visit to the hotel. It's not that old but it tends to look like an older Marriott hotel that was converted to a Renaissance Hotel. The staff has been excellent thusfar including a welcome email prior to checking in from the assistant general manager. The rooms are very nice and clean. The concierge lounge isn't bad although there wasn't a lot of food options in there when I went in. Will definitely stay here again as the location is perfect for my business meetings. read more

Nice enough hotel, but loses a quick two stars for $10 WiFi. For the rates they offer, it's unacceptable in this day and age to ask this much (if anything) for it. I get that it's located in a corporate area, but that's beside the point. The bed, linens and towels are all soft and the place is clean - and it's obviously nice to earn some Marriott rewards. Breakfast is not included, but they have a much nicer gym than most hotels. read more

I recommend this hotel, it is very clean, the bed is so comfortable, big TV, very quiet They deserve five stars ! read more

Renaissance Indianapolis North Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

My normal hotel review is chocked full of pics and details about the ambiance, a review of the bar or the lobby, I try to check everything out. This time is different. It isn't that I didn't enjoy my stay, it's that I got so distracted by the bed, I didn't even remember to do anything else. The decor of the room is very clean and modern. You can tell the room has recently been updated. I lay in the bed "for a second" and the next thing I know, hours passed. The bed was firm (which I like) but still very comfortable. I totally forgot to ask the front desk where they came from, but I need to know. We came on a weekend where there was some sort of convention for college kids. This made for a very full lobby and a crowded elevator, but once I was in the room, I heard nothing. The only complaint I have was that housekeeping walked in around 10am. There was no knock and she continued to walk in even after I announced that I was still in the room. She eventually apologized and walked out. All's forgiven, I went to back to bed for a few more minutes. read more

This is a top notch hotel. The food there is excellent and the bar tenders are great. I'm looking forward to my next trip. Can't wait to taste the crab chowder - highly recommended. read more

Got bit multiple times by something during a one night stay at this hotel. By the size of the bites, looks like it was probably a spider, but the hotel manager could not find any evidence of anything that could've bitten me, aside from the wounds on my legs. The manager did not bother to come out and talk to me, instead, left a lack of apology with a very nice woman at the front desk. Otherwise, a very nice hotel read more

Yelp friends, I'm daring to be bold and write a hotel review before I've stayed my first night. You can call me crazy, but I consider myself already thoroughly impressed by the Renaissance Indianapolis North. Service at the check-in desk was friendly, prompt and informative, and I loved that the woman who helped me was also the one who addressed my phone inquiry the day before - she actually remembered me, and that little touch made me feel right at home. Speaking of home ... if I could take this amazing king-sized bed back to Kansas City with me, I'd do it in five seconds! It's incredibly plush and HUGE - definitely my favorite part so far. The hotel and rooms have a colorful, modern decor that definitely fits the boutique hotel profile. I was able to check in just after noon, which was definitely impressive. I ordered room service, and a short 20 minutes later, sank my teeth into a truly amazing bacon cheeseburger. The waiter even brought an extra carafe of iced tea of his own accord, and I've been enjoying the fresh brew all afternoon without the need to stop in at a vending machine or hotel cafe. My only complaint? No Starbucks or coffee shop on the premises, and because the hotel is in a mostly corporate area, there's not much within walking distance. It's certainly not a deal-breaker, but is the reason I couldn't quite go the full five stars. If you're looking for comfortable luxury while you're in northern Indianapolis, definitely consider the Renaissance! read more

I stayed here while in town for a wedding. The special rate for the wedding was just $119/night, and I would expect a hotel of this quality to run at least $100 more a night. The room was spacious and clean, with a king bed and queen sleeper sofa. I always appreciate a hotel that offers Aveda toiletries, and I really enjoyed the rosemary mint scented shampoo and conditioner at the Renaissance. Upon check in, we were told we had a king bed, despite calling earlier in the week and confirming a double bed. While they weren't able to accommodate our request, they quickly offered to move us to the 8th floor, where we'd have full access to the concierge lounge. During the week, this is open for complimentary breakfast and then drinks and snacks in the evening. We really enjoyed being able to run in and grab a bottle of water or soda at our leisure. The ladies working in there were extremely attentive and nice, too. Downstairs is a sit down restaurant, but also a small Starbucks counter where you can get coffee, soft drinks and pastries. There isn't much close by in terms of dining, so this is your best bet if you want a quick breakfast. I assume most people staying here are probably in town for business, but if you're looking for things to do, you will need to catch a cab. There isn't much around the hotel in terms of dining or shopping, but we did take a cab ride over to the Clay Terrace outdoor mall. read more

One of the nicest hotels in metro Indy, the Renaissance Indianapolis North opened for business in the summer of 2008. This is a boutique hotel with bold colors, modern designs and great amenities. Like all Renaissance hotels, the Carmel location is decorated around a local theme, in this case Carmel's Arts and Design District. In addition to 263 beautifully appointed guest rooms, this hotel boasts an inviting "street feel" restaurant and bar area that serves up some delicious and innovative cuisine as well as 15,000 square feet of meeting space, a 24-hr fitness center, indoor pool and upgraded Club level rooms and Club Lounge with concierge. One caveat: the Renaissance is a bit of a drive from the Indy Airport and the downtown area, so plan accordingly. This is good bet if your business is along the northern corridor of the city. read more

It's fine. Over-chlorinated pool is too small for laps. There aren't any toys or a slide, so what do you do? Stand there. Float around. If you swim corner to corner it takes 7 strokes. No hottub. Coffee is AWFUL. Every day we had this bitter, nasty swill. Straining an ashtray of cigarettes through a used diaper would be an improvement. **** EXCEPT if you ask for it they might have a Guatemala coffee from a local brewer Harvest that is really good. Once and awhile they have local vendors display their wares. This is fun and interesting. Seems to coincide with a gratis mimosa and bloody mary bar. Room fine. Door kept sticking open. Heater is loud and too strong. In February during a snowstorm I had to turn on the AC. It must be the surrounding rooms raising the temperature. Bathroom stocked with Aveda stuff. *** Yay for that! You really can't walk to any good restaurants or shopping, but there is a trail on the tracks nearby. Why are there so many plastic surgeons around here? read more

Pretty nice Renaissance, staff is extremely friendly. Rooms are decent with refrigerators, but all the same size so no upgrades to be had. The rooms facing the freeway can be a little louder, but be aware there is a hospital on the away side so the occasional heli landing is loud. Food and concierge lounge is decent, indoor pool. read more

A typical Renaissance property - good on luxuries while also easy on the wallet. Stayed here while in town since I couldn't get my normal downtown reservations due to GenCon. Lounge was a bit small and quaint - but the food satisfied and kept me from overspending elsewhere. Room was also clean and quiet - very important to me when I'm traveling for work. Didn't like that the bar closed at 0145 - could have used another hour after my hard business was over. Also, the lounge isn't open for hors d'ourves on Saturday or breakfast on Sundays. I did like getting the extra Marriott points as a make up though... read more

I have been staying here for the past 5 weeks and I love it here. Ever since day 1, theyve treated me so well. All the receptionists know my name. They let me keep my bag there overnight since I come back every single week. The lounge is pretty good. Every Tuesday, theres a good cake up there. I hope all hotels model themselves after them. read more

For the cost $160+ I am not impressed. Pros: Friendly employees, clean room and soft comfortable pillows. 1200 checkout. Cons: -HARD BEDS, if you are a soft bed sleeper this is not the place -No hair dryer (typical in the more costly hotels, but still a complaint) -Slow wifi that you pay for $9+ -The mouse in the business computer room uses a roller ball!?! Seriously? I didn't even know they still made those (because they are horrible). -Business computer's internet was slower than the wifi, nearly useless -Very minimal HD channels on the TV. I can't even watch non HD TV anymore. Looks blurry and I feel like I need glasses. No news channels are in HD. I've stayed in hotels that cost MUCH less with more amenities. Not sure why those who have money spend more for less. read more

Well my expectations started out thinking this would be a dump and here is why. I had to call the central line in order to book using reward nights. The customer rep informed me that I could not book at my desired location because it was a CAT 5 and my night was only good for a 4. This was slightly a problem as the closest Marriot location was appox. 6 miles from the event I was attending. I booked it anyways. Upon arrival the desk was very pleasant, this isn't always the case when checking into a hotel. They were happy to help and happy! I was overwhelmed by the beautiful lobby area. It was stunning. I got to my room and was even more impressed. It is either a new hotel or a very well taken care of facility. They supply quality items for the room, everything from towels to the toiletries. The carpets are clean and is odor free. The hotel was really quiet, which is quiet impressive. After the first night I got to see friends that were here for the same conference who were staying at the other property. I was quickly informed that apparently my hotel kicked ass compared to theirs Imagine how surprised I was. Quiet frankly I wanted to find the customer service rep and stick out my tongue and giver her raspberries! Next time I am in the area I will certainly book in this hotel. The friendliness and attentiveness of the staff, the stunning lobby and everything else made it truly a great stay. read more
