That's more rooms connected by enclosed skywalks than any other U.S. city, with another 1,400 connected rooms in the pipeline. Indy's expansion is also slated to include a new 50,000 sq. ft. ballroom (the state's largest) at the Indiana Convention Center and is anticipated to open in 2023. The city boasts 32,000 rooms in the metro area. Visitors arrive at Conde Nast Traveler's “#1 Airport in America” four years running, and experience the quick 15-minute transfer to downtown.
