Indulge in a warm and welcoming culinary experience inspired by the French countryside. Vivante, meaning "alive," the signature restaurant of Hotel Carmichael serves fresh and vibrant menus of approachable French fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with seasonal outdoor seating along the Monon Trail. Robust wine selections, immersive table-side action stations, and thoughtful extras like refreshing palate cleansers, truffles, and rich French press coffee are just a few of the ways Vivante creates a lasting impression beyond its creative culinary offerings.
Centered around a grand piano and wood-burning fireplace with selections from the Great American Songbook providing the soundtrack, our lobby bar is an exceptional place to mix, mingle, and imbibe. Enjoy full bar service with classic cocktails, wines, and local brews while taking in the sights and sounds of the sprawling Hotel Carmichael lobby.
