New boutique hotel opening in Carmel’s Meridian Corridor, blending Midwest design with local heritage
The Tallison Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, will open on March 6, 2025, in the heart of Central Indiana’s bustling Meridian Corridor. This upscale boutique property draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural principles while celebrating the warmth of Hoosier hospitality.
“The Tallison is a modern and refined expression of the Midwest, uncovering the spirit of Hoosier hospitality,” said John Tampa, President and CEO of Ascent Hospitality. “Every aspect of the property reflects our commitment to creating an elevated guest experience that honors Indiana’s rich heritage while embracing contemporary luxury.”
