The Landing
Fort Wayne’s story began as an important stop along the Erie Canal. Today, you can feel the history of our city in The Landing – once the spot where canal boats docked to unload their goods, now a food destination. On this walkable block, sip on cocktails under the Bison Mural at Nawa’s outdoor patio, grab a brew and BBQ at the Landing Beer Company, try new Cali-Mex flavors at Mercado, or discover new dishes at the three other dining destinations. Plus, the Landing is located a block south of Promenade Park.
A Fort Wayne Signature Hotel - The Bradley
A partnership between Barbara Bradley Baekgaard (co-founder of Fort Wayne headquartered Vera Bradley) and Provenance Hotels, a Portland, Oregon-based hotel owner and operator. The Bradley delights guests the moment they walk into the lobby. From the signature scent to the various Fort Wayne touches, The Bradley emulates the unique design style that is reminiscent of the Vera Bradley you know through pattern play and bright colors. The cornerstone of Fort Wayne’s new dining district, The Landing, the 124-room property features a rooftop bar, a ground-floor restaurant and retail space, and many other experiential amenities.
