The hotel is located directly across Jackson Place from the Union Station head house.

The Hotel Severin received its first registered guest the next day, Indiana Congressman James Eli Watson.

The hotel underwent a $40 million restoration and expansion, which added two wings to the back of the original 1913 building, forming a U-shaped structure.

The large antique dressers on each elevator landing were originally in the guest rooms.

The Omni Severin is the oldest and longest operating hotel in downtown Indianapolis.
