Sybaris Indianapolis
"The 4.6 Sybaris Indianapolis — adults-only private-suite pool/whirlpool couples destination on W 86th."
About The Hotel
Sybaris Indianapolis is a 4.6-rated (301 reviews) adults-only private-suite couples destination at 5466 W 86th St — with in-suite pools, whirlpools, saunas and steam rooms in Chalet and Paradise Pool Suites. Subratings run 4.6–4.8 across cleanliness (4.8), rooms (4.7), service (4.6) and location (4.2). The property is a purpose-built romance resort rather than a traditional overnight hotel — many bookings are afternoon-visit day-suite packages, though overnight stays are the standard. CANDID FLAGS: a 1-star July 9 report of a dirty whirlpool with pubic hairs at check-in (maintenance responded within the hour) plus bug bites, hot room and broken door lock; a fourth-visit Sybaris returnee called this the worst of the four Sybaris locations with a broken steam room and cold pool room. Best for couples who want in-suite pool/whirlpool without leaving the room — book with expectations set.
What Guests Are Saying
“My husband took me for my birthday and it was perfect. We got the Paradise suite everything was super clean and comfortable. The pool and pool area were a pervert cozy temperature. The steam room was great just smells a bit when turned on at first but nothing bad. We got extra things like late checkout, roses , chocolates, a drink, glasses and such and they were all perfect additions. This is a perfect romantic getaway for couples or even a solo relaxation trip. I struggle with germaphobia and anxiety but this place was like heaven for me , I finally had a chance to really relax and didn’t worry about a thing. Things like toothbrush (wrapped) toothpaste soaps and such were included along with a bag of ice and two waters. Personally it wasn’t too expensive considering all the add ons we got, everything was definitely worth every cent” — Skyler, 5 stars

“Great romantic getaway and it’s worth the price. I didn’t expect the room to look like it did and how they decorated the room was great and overall service was awesome and professional. We are definitely going back. We are so pleased and recommended everyone to use them.” — Michael C., 5 stars

The toilet and bidet were really low. It was an older style bidet. They provide a lot of pillows, but if you use a flatter pillow I would suggest you bring your own. The pillows are really thick. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back. It was easy to find. Over all it was a great experience."
