Welcome To A Wabash Landmark Hotel

Nestled along the Wabash River, amidst farmlands, scattered woods, and hilly terrain, the Downtown Wabash Historic District has made strides to restore vibrancy. Charley Creek Inn has served as a catalyst for community revitalization. Guests delight in the restored grandeur and quintessential elegance that made the hotel the county’s central landmark in the 1920s.

Beyond its striking Georgian-Revival façade, sophisticated ambience, and architectural glamour, multiple generations of Honeywell Center performers, business travelers, newlyweds and families are treated to an unforgettable guest experience. Meticulously decorated to feel like a page out of “The Great Gatsby,” Twenty Restaurant offers locally sourced upscale dining. Much like the restaurant, the adjacent Green Hat Lounge unites an exquisite blend of modernism with the Prohibition era. Two unique shoppes afford guests nostalgic pleasures with choices ranging from wine tastings and gourmet cheeses to Indiana-made, hand-dipped ice cream and artisan chocolates.

A boutique hotel in Downtown Wabash. Rediscovering history, romance, culture & the arts.

Twenty
Restaurant

From the moment you step into Twenty, you’ll be wrapped in the history of our downtown hotel. In name and nuanced decor, it’s a nod to our building’s 1920 debut as the Hotel Indiana. There’s nothing old-fashioned about the cuisine, though. Savor guest favorites like Blue Duck Flat Bread with Bourbon Fig Jam, Indiana Bacon and Spinach Salad, and Lobster Mac & Cheese, served with or without paired wines.

    We just wanted a worry free escape away and Charley Creek delivered that and then some! From check-in to check out all of our expectations were exceeded. We loved the rooms comfort and charm, the food was delicious and we had a variety to choose from. The candy and ice cream parlor and the wine and cheese shop was a delight.

    I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and celebrate our anniversary. A beautiful room and great food! We also had a great time walking around the town and checking out the Charley Creek Gardens, Honeywell Center, and various little shops around the town.

    My daughter and I stayed at the Charley Creek Inn while in the area for Riverdance. This was my 2nd stay at this hotel and it was just as lovely as before. The hotel is very clean and rooms are well-appointed. We enjoyed food from room service and Twenty. The hotel is perfect for anyone who is going to a show or event at the Honeywell Center- just a few minutes walk, and very safe at night. Beautiful hotel!

    We were not sure what to expect as this hotel had been selected as the location for a relative's wedding activities. We were so very impressed with the ambiance, friendly staff, and superb service. Wabash is a charming town, and this boutique hotel is a credit to the town!

    We stayed at the Charley Creek Inn while attending a reunion. This is a remarkable renovated turn of the 19th Century Hotel. Elegant and yet moderately priced. The service and the restaurant has excellent food and superior service.
