There are so many good restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping options in downtown Carmel, a quick drive from the hotel block. There's Bub's Burgers, Bazbeaux Pizza, Savor, Anthony's Chophouse, Roma Ristorante, and more. Don't be alarmed by the human-like statues around town!
One of our favorite coffee shops in the Carmel area, we were sipping on Java House lattes the morning of the proposal!
The Monon Trail is a historic rail-to-trail path stretching over 27 miles from Indianapolis to Sheridan, Indiana. Originally a railroad line, it has been transformed into a popular recreational trail perfect for walking, running, or biking. Guests staying in Carmel will find convenient entry points nearby, making it easy to hop on the trail and explore.
If you’re in the mood to shop, grab a bite, or just stroll around, The Fashion Mall is a fun spot with popular stores like Nordstrom, Aritzia, and Madewell. It’s a quick drive from downtown Carmel and great for a chill afternoon.
