Indianapolis Stroll

In the Indianapolis area, consider the Nestle Inn (www.nestleindy.com; 877-339-5200), whose guest rooms (rates from $105 a night) marry old-fashioned decor with modern-day conveniences. In the morning fill up on the inn's praline-topped French toast casserole or waffles loaded with fresh fruit. Then head out to Indy's historic Chatham Arch neighborhood. On Massachusetts Avenue (www.discovermassave.com), you can explore art galleries and boutiques or grab a bite at one of the strip's six eateries. Try Agio (317-488-0359) for modern Italian fare or the Bavarian-styled Rathskeller, which features a German menu (317-636-0396).
