Luxury place to stay. Good roof top bar and the ground level bar had live piano Friday and Saturday. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Main St. Fort Wayne is a little loud, but wasn't too bad and no fault of the hotel. Would stay again for sure.

First visit. Excellent experience. Helpful valet, friendly efficient check-in. Easy and inexpensive self parking at the indoor lot across the street. Room was clean and fresh and modern. Nice bathroom and shower. Loved having a drink at Rooftop Birdies. Enjoyed short stroll to restaurant for dinner and visited the downtown farmers market on a Saturday morning.

Bradley is seriously such a beautiful hotel. The designers have done an outstanding job with picking colors, fabrics and putting the whole room together. The lobby is very cute and rooms are spacious. Where The Bradley lacks is in the gym. It feels like a time capsule and you enter a Hampton Inn Gym. The Bradley caters to who values the little things but really misses the mark with the gym.

I stayed at The Bradley on New Year’s Eve, and it was such a special experience. I’ve always wanted to stay here, and it truly did not disappoint. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne, which immediately set the tone for a memorable and welcoming stay. The hotel is absolutely beautiful—stylish, cozy, and thoughtfully designed—with an elevated boutique feel that still feels warm and inviting. Even traveling solo, I felt completely comfortable and cared for. Everything from the atmosphere to the service made the night feel celebratory and intentional. It was the perfect place to ring in the New Year, and I’m so glad I finally checked this stay off my list. I can’t wait to come back again!

Really beautiful hotel. The rooms are very beautiful and big! You have all you need and there are so many restaurants within walking distance! The restaurant in the hotel is not so reliable as it doesn’t seem to be necessarily open in the hours that it has listed as operational.

Great hotel to stay in for my first visit to Fort Wayne. Well designed and clean, fast elevators, quiet, easy and cheap garage parking across the street. My favorite feature was the water and ice stations on each floor. Many luxury hotels make it a chore to fill up a reusable water bottle or dog bowl. The pet fee was a pretty standard rate and came with treats and a toy that my dog really enjoyed. Service was great the entire stay. I would highly recommend checking out the coffee shop and cafe next door to The Bradley. The rooftop bar was also great and open until midnight!

Well decorated establishment with attentive and friendly staff whether you interact with them at 2am or 6am. The bed was comfortable, the showers warm and refreshing. It's a gem in downtown fort Wayne. If you don't believe me, well secretary of war Hegseth stayed there and he can stay anywhere.

Nice, upscale feel with very friendly and professional staff. The rooms aren’t huge but are quiet, beds are comfortable, have a decent sized bathroom, and Keurig coffee maker. The bar and restaurant are cozy with an excellent piano player on Friday and Saturday nights. There is a coffee bar in the lobby that serves breakfast to go. Valet parking was also available.
