A new hotel planned beside Horseshoe Indianapolis will give visitors another way to stay close to the Shelbyville gaming and racing destination. HCW plans to develop a five-story, 140-room property under Hilton’s Tapestry Collection brand, with construction expected to start in fall 2026 and an opening targeted for spring 2028.
Key takeaways
The project pairs a boutique-style Hilton brand with amenities designed for resort guests, groups and leisure travelers.
- The hotel will include 140 rooms and suites across 109,324 square feet.
- Plans call for an infinity pool, restaurant and bar, fitness center, and two meeting rooms.
- The property will sit directly adjacent to Horseshoe Indianapolis in Shelbyville.
- Guests will be able to earn and use Hilton Honors benefits.
A hotel designed around the destination
HCW’s planned hotel will offer king rooms, double queen accommodations and suites. Its resort-style infinity pool will overlook the water and include seating, while an integrated restaurant and bar will provide outdoor poolside dining. A fitness center will round out the guest amenities.
For meetings and celebrations, the hotel is slated to have two flexible rooms totaling 1,648 square feet. Those spaces add a smaller-scale gathering option alongside the casino’s existing event facilities.
Opening timeline and location
Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2026, with the hotel expected to welcome guests in spring 2028. The site is directly next to Horseshoe Indianapolis, a Caesars Entertainment property in Shelbyville, Indiana, positioning hotel guests within easy reach of the resort’s gaming, racing, dining and entertainment.
The casino complex has about 106,000 square feet of gaming space, including 1,480 gaming machines and 80 table games, as well as a sportsbook, live racetrack and 22,000 square feet of meeting space. It hosts Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing during the year and is home to the Grade 3 Indiana Derby.
What the Tapestry brand brings
Tapestry Collection by Hilton is a soft brand, bringing the hotel into Hilton’s portfolio while connecting it with the independent character associated with the collection. Guests will have access to Hilton Honors, adding a familiar loyalty option for travelers planning a visit around a race, gaming or a group event.
The development is intended to serve destination visitors and support group and leisure travel in the Shelbyville area. Its location and planned amenities make it a useful addition to the resort experience, particularly for guests who want to stay on site rather than travel elsewhere after a full day of activities.
