Carmel

Carmel's Unique Style

Carmel’s devotion to the arts is apparent throughout the community but the Arts & Design District takes center stage. The District surrounds the intersection of Main Street and Range Line Road and features galleries, interior design showcases, boutiques and special events. The nearby Center for the Performing Arts is the home of The Palladium concert hall. The venue also includes the Studio Theater, The Tarkington theater and The Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook initiative. Midtown Plaza is fast becoming a central gathering place for visitors and residents. It includes pool and ping pong tables, benches, a fire pit, covered swings and a huge video screen, all surrounded by restaurants stores and office buildings and an improved Monon Trail. Just south of Midtown, adjacent to the Palladium, is Carmel’s newest hotel, the Hotel Carmichael. A member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, the Hotel Carmichael is an architectural masterpiece that complements the other inspiring buildings in and around Carmel City Center. Carmel also provides many opportunities for outdoor recreation and active lifestyles. The Monon Community Center and Waterpark at Central Park, and Cool Creek Park and Nature Center are family favorites.
