Overview
by Courtney Elko
Located in downtown Fort Wayne, families will love the convenience of being able to walk to several downtown attractions. The Tincaps minor league baseball stadium is less than a 10-minute walk and the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo is about 4 miles away. The Grand Wayne Convention Center is attached to this hotel by a Skywalk, which convention goers will find convenient. The spacious suites offer families plenty of room to spread out with a separate living room area.
The onsite restaurant is a great place to grab breakfast, lunch or dinner and the indoor swimming pool is a nice spot for families to hang out and play after a day of touring around Fort Wayne. Pets are welcome to stay here, and of course there is free Wi-Fi available.

Clean, comfortable, and spacious room with a pleasant staff. Central location great for business meetings. They had everything you would expect during a stay for business. This was my first time in Ft. Wayne, and I will be staying here again the next time I am in the area.

I had a wonderfull time at this Hilton. The staff was great and the room was very nice and clean. The breakfast for $13 was a bit lacking. overall I would comeback. Oh ya they have a Starbucks in the lobby!

The Art of Smart Timing
This hotel is busy year-round, especially when events are taking place at the Fort Wayne Convention Center, which is attached to the hotel. However, in the summer months, the weekdays are less busy with travelers.
Getting There
The Fort Wayne International Airport is about 20 minutes away from this hotel. Fort Wayne is situated about two hours north of Indianapolis and about two and half hours from Sandusky, Ohio.
Getting Around
A free shuttle is available to transport guests to the airport, and several downtown attractions are within walking distance to the hotel. However, a vehicle would be needed to see much of Fort Wayne.
For Mom and Dad
Bar
The adults will love to grab a drink at the bar in the lobby, which is open until midnight.
