Whoa: According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, it was the Westin who made the decision, not Shula's:

"A representative for Shula’s told IBJ that the decision to leave the downtown Westin, 241 W. Washington St., was made by the hotel and not the restaurant. She said Shula’s would be open to operating another Indianapolis restaurant but doesn’t have current plans to relocate."
I didn't know that before. I just found that article now, while I was looking for this different one to post:
https://www.indystar.com/story/entertainment/dining/2019/01/24/indianapolis-restaurant-closings-shulas-steakhouse/2668894002/
That story was that Shula's was the 3rd steakhouse to close in downtown Indianapolis this year. It also has a statement from the Westin that contradicts the ibj.com article linked above:
"In a written statement, Westin Indianapolis general manager Andy Seal said, "The decision to close was a joint decision between hotel ownership and the restaurant management company. The lease was at its end and it was an opportunity to make a change."
Wow. I just discovered a whole lot tonight that I didn't know just 10 minutes before. Looks like the Westin is trying to spin positive a decision that Shula's didn't agree with. Unexpected drama, and all found when just trying to locate an article. :)
