Fifteen years ago, White Lodging redefined downtown Indianapolis' hospitality landscape by topping out construction on what was the world's largest JW Marriott and, still today, the city's largest hotel in Indianapolis - bringing a new level of luxury to the heart of Indy.

Today, that legacy of excellence continues as JW Marriott Indianapolis introduces the flagship location of Dean's Steak & Seafood. Already making its mark in Charlotte, Austin, and San Antonio, Dean's Steak & Seafood now arrives in Indianapolis as the crown jewel - a modern steakhouse that blends classic steakhouse fare with fine dining, all in a stylish yet welcoming atmosphere.

This opening marks a new chapter for the city's culinary scene, once again placing Indianapolis at the forefront of elevated dining experiences.
