The newest member of the IHG family, Hotel Indigo is the industry's first branded boutique hotel experience. It is uniquely designed to appeal to guests who desire affordable luxury, personal service and an alternative to traditional hotels without sacrificing any of the businesses amenities they have come to expect. Renewal is the soul of Hotel Indigo's retail-inspired design concept - thoughtful changes that are made throughout the year to keep the hotel fresh. Guestrooms feature signature murals, area rugs, fluffy duvets and slipcovers that will change periodically, while public spaces will be transformed seasonally through changing aromas, music, artwork, murals and directional signage. From relaxed café dining to high-style rooms - Hotel Indigo creates an intriguing, warm and inviting environment for guests.  

The Hotel Indigo brand is quickly expanding throughout North America, with 12 locations open and more than 60 under development, either in the pipeline or in final negotiation. Future sites of Hotel Indigo hotels include Baltimore, Md.; Miami, Fl.; San Antonio, Texas; Las Vegas, Nev.; New York, N.Y.; St. Louis, Mo.; and Knoxville, Tenn.   For more information on Hotel Indigo, or to make reservations, please visit http://www.hotelindigo.com/.   For more information on Hotel Indigo, please visit http://www.hotelindigo.com/.
