First Hotel Indigo for LA
InterContinental Hotels Group has announced the signing of the first Hotel Indigo in the city of Los Angeles, California.
Due to open in 2016, the hotel was designed by Gensler, with the interior design led by Hirsch Bedner Associates/HBA Los Angeles. It will be located at 899 Francisco Street in the heart of Downtown LA, linking the Financial District to LA Live, the Nokia Theatre, the Staples Center and Los Angeles Convention Center.
The 350-key property will be the flagship hotel at Metropolis, a more than $1 billion mixed-use development which is currently under construction. Owned by Greenland USA, Metropolis will also feature three residential towers and a curated retail experience.
Every Hotel Indigo property is uniquely designed to reflect the culture, character and history of its surrounding neighbourhood. This Downtown Los Angeles location will have a unique neighbourhood story that will be woven throughout the guest experience, from the seasonal and locally sourced food and drinks served in a stylish environment at the restaurant and bar, to the art, photography and architecture incorporated into the hotel’s design.
The neighbourhood story will focus around several prominent narratives from Downtown LA’s past including Fiesta De Las Flores, the glamorous pre-Hollywood nightlife scene and the underground speakeasies of the roaring twenties.
