Hotel Indigo Opens Hotel in Torquay – The Heart of the English Riviera

TORQUAY, UK, 28 NOVEMBER 2025: Hotel Indigo, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts luxury and lifestyle portfolio, officially opens the doors to Hotel Indigo Torquay. Set within the heart of the charming British coastal town in South Devon, the new boutique hotel is a stone’s throw from transport links around the country, as well as local attractions, including Torquay Museum, Kents Cavern, Princess Pier and Torre Abbey Sands. Hotel Indigo Torquay is owned by Singapore-based Fragrance Group and managed by IHG Hotels & Resorts.

Just as no two neighbourhoods are alike, no two Hotel Indigo properties are alike. Each is designed to uniquely reflect the local culture, character, and history of the surrounding area. Celebrating Torquay’s rich maritime heritage, Hotel Indigo Torquay is a testament to the town’s exciting revival. Every detail throughout the property is inspired by its vibrant seaside surroundings, using sandy tones, artisan decor and bold colourways that ensure the local neighbourhood is woven into the very heart of the hotel’s character and charm.

After exploring the streets that were once walked by icons like Agatha Christie, John Cleese, and Charles Darwin, guests can retreat to one of 153 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites. Influenced by the nearby coastline, each space blends comfort with modern luxuries, such as Nespresso coffee machines, bath robes, cosy slippers and Biology shower and body products. From wave-patterned wallpaper to serene blue tones, every detail reflects the beauty of the local bays, beaches, and ever-changing tides.

Mr. Koh Wee Meng, Chairman and CEO of Fragrance Group says: "We are extremely proud to have signed and opened our first hotel with IHG Hotels & Resorts on the beautiful English Riviera, and we are excited to see where this partnership will lead."

James Farley, General Manager at Hotel Indigo Torquay, says: “We are delighted to introduce the Hotel Indigo brand to the heart of Torquay, a destination celebrated for its nostalgic charm and exceptional coastal setting. This thoughtfully designed hotel combines a relaxed coastal ambience with a refined, design-led aesthetic and a strong connection to the local community, perfectly reflecting the spirit of the English Riviera. We look forward to welcoming guests from near and far to experience the hotel, unwind in comfort, and create lasting memories.”

Aligning with Hotel Indigo’s restaurant ethos and designed to become the heart of the hotel, Root & Reef Bistro celebrates the tastes and traditions of Torquay’s fishing and farming heritage. Here, the ocean’s freshest catch meets the finest Devonshire produce – brought straight from land and sea to table. Up in The Cast rooftop bar, it’s the drinks that steal the show. Opening in Spring 2026, the rooftop bar will give sweeping panoramic views of the bay and its sailing boats. There’s no better spot to enjoy handcrafted cocktails, signature serves and tempting small plates. The Cast draws its name from Torquay’s literary icon Agatha Christie - paying homage to her cast of unforgettable characters, while also inviting guests to ‘cast’ their gaze over the stunning English Riviera.

The hotel is also excited to offer guests a state-of-the-art wellness suite, with rejuvenating treatment rooms and a fitness centre with showstopping views of the glistening bay; a real treat for wellbeing-conscious travellers.

From a stroll through the palm-lined Princess Gardens to a refreshing dip at Torre Abbey Sands, a wander around the bustling harbour, or a spin on the English Riviera Wheel, Torquay offers a coastal escape where visitors leave feeling both invigorated and restored.

The hotel is dog-friendly.
