Old Northside Bed & Breakfast - A Historic 1885 Mansion with Hand-Painted Murals and Luxury Themed Rooms

Located in the historic Old Northside neighborhood, this 2-star Indianapolis hotel occupies the Dewenter-Greenen House, built in 1885 by industrialist Herman Dewenter. The mansion retains its original maple slat flooring and hand-carved cherry and mahogany woodwork, with several murals and ceilings hand-painted by a Ukrainian artist. Old Northside Bed & Breakfast features five themed rooms, each with private baths, while select accommodations include double Jacuzzi tubs, private fireplaces, and king-size beds. The property maintains a 24/7 snack bar, a library, and serves complete breakfast at flexible times. Guests have access to free WiFi, private parking, cable TV, and complimentary refreshments including popcorn and bottled water. The bed & breakfast sits 0.5 miles from Central Library and Central Canal, with The Children's Museum of Indianapolis located 2 miles away. Indianapolis International Airport is situated 15.5 miles from the property.

Pros

Original 1885 architectural elements including hand-carved woodwork and maple flooring

Ukrainian artist's hand-painted murals throughout the property

Multiple dining options within 1640.4 ft, including Gregs Indy and English Ivy's

Close proximity to cultural landmarks like the Landmark for Peace Memorial

Cons

15.5 miles from Indianapolis International Airport

Limited on-site dining options beyond breakfast service

“Old Northside Bed & Breakfast delivers a deeply personal experience, more akin to visiting family than staying at a hotel. I found the historic setting and proximity to downtown Indianapolis appealing, while the owner's character and stories added a layer of local connection. The extensive VHS collection is a quirky touch for solo travelers, and the homemade cookies provide that extra-mile touch.”
