LA CROSSE, Wis. & INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (October 6, 2026) – Geronimo Hospitality Group is proud to announce that two of its boutique hotels, The Charmant Hotel in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and Ironworks Hotel Indy in Indianapolis, have been named among the top 15 hotels in the Midwest in Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards.



The Charmant ranked No. 8, marking its third appearance on the list, while Ironworks ranked No.14, earning the honor for the fourth consecutive year.

“Earning this honor for multiple years speaks to the care and dedication our teams bring to every guest experience. We’re incredibly proud of both hotel teams and grateful to every single guest who took the time to support.”
