Unusual Hotels in the United States

21c Museum Hotel Louisville combines a contemporary art museum with a 91-room boutique hotel. You can visit the exhibitions that take place in more than 9,000 square feet of space and rest in a deluxe room.

Before this building was converted into a luxury hotel, it used to be the Charles Street Jail, where several famous inmates resided. Parts of the original jail are still preserved today, blending seamlessly with the hotel's unique design.

Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Dwtn-Union Stn, an IHG Hotel, is a destination steeped in history. The Grand Hall Ballroom is particularly noteworthy, with stunning wheel windows and a barrel ceiling adorned with original stained glass. As one traverses the hallways, the historical echoes of World War I can still be felt. Grey-tinted wheel windows, a memento of the times they were blacked out during the war for camouflage, are an intriguing feature that takes guests back in time.

However, what truly sets this hotel apart is the unique opportunity it provides for guests to stay in an authentic Pullman train car guest room. This extraordinary lodging experience is a vivid nod to the past, embodying a bygone era when rail travel was the epitome of luxury and style. The opportunity to stay in a Pullman train car guest room at Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Dwtn-Union Stn is more than just a stay; it's a journey into the past with all the comforts of the present.
