Carmel
unveils name of future City Center hotel
Construction
of ‘The Carmichael’ will begin this spring
Carmel, IN –
The City of Carmel is releasing updated images and announcing today
that a name has been chosen for the future City Center hotel – “The
Carmichael” – which will be developed as part of a public-private
partnership bringing the first hotel into the City Center. The name
pays homage to both Carmel and Michael Feinstein, the
Grammy-nominated performer and artistic director of the Center for
the Performing Arts, who will operate a supper club on the ground
level of the new hotel.
“We are excited to see these plans come together for this boutique
hotel that will become an important part of our plan to bring more
excitement and more visitors into our redevelopment area,” said
Mayor Jim Brainard. “We have many wonderful hotels along the
Meridian Corridor, but they are often booked solid and more hotels
are being planned for that area. This hotel will be a special, unique
experience for those wanting to catch a show at the Palladium, then
spend the evening in the heart of our new downtown.”
Hotel Carmichael is
being developed in such a way to be included as part of the Autograph
Collection by Marriott, which is a prestigious brand with high
average occupancy rates. Negotiations are underway right now to try
to make The Carmichael one of about 100 Autograph Collection hotels
worldwide.
Construction on
the hotel should begin this spring. It will be connected to the
Carmel City Center and located just across the widened Monon Trail
from the Palladium, with dining and meeting rooms overlooking the
Center Green.
“We are working
daily with our architects, designers, and luxury-boutique hotel
consultants to push for excellence in every detail, from parking to
pampering,” said Henry Mestetsky, Executive Director of the Carmel
Redevelopment Commission. “We want this hotel to be something that
Carmel residents and businesses will be proud to share with visitors,
clients, and family members who are spending time in our city.”
Current
plans call for the 106,347 square-foot hotel to feature 122 guest
rooms and suites, a full-service restaurant, private dining, outside
dining, the Feinstein Club, ballroom, meeting spaces, business center
and a fitness center.
