After nearly seven years of planning, financing and renovation, the Intercontinental Hotel, Indianapolis’ latest entry in the luxury lodging market, opens just off Monument Circle.

The 170-room luxury hotel at 17 W. Market St., made its public debut Monday following a rehabilitation project to the historic building that began in 2018.

The gunman who held intensive care unit staff hostage at UPMC Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania before killing a police officer and injuring five other people Saturday believed that more could have been done to save his wife, who was on life support for a terminal illness, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.
