Hotel Indigo, the boutique hotel brand from IHG Hotels & Resorts, is continuing its growth momentum with three new openings in some of the most distinct locales in the United States – New Orleans, Nebraska and Colorado.
“We’re excited to continue expanding the Hotel Indigo portfolio within this important market, bringing even more unique stays to meet guests’ expectations,” says Carol Hoeller, Vice President Global Brand Management, Hotel Indigo. “After two years of putting plans on pause, many travellers are looking forward to embracing authentic new experiences as well as rediscovering their own backyard. The latest Hotel Indigo openings offer rich options to immerse in vibrant and varied neighbourhoods, from a mountain retreat to a cultural melting pot, coupled with inspiring design and welcoming service that have become brand hallmarks.”
As the brand’s first mountainside hotel in the U.S., Hotel Indigo Silverthorne is an inviting escape offering high altitude adventure. Situated between the resorts of Breckenridge and Copper Mountain, Silverthorne is a charming town with a rich history. Set amongst Colorado’s wild and unrelenting beauty, Hotel Indigo Silverthorne looks to the snow caps of nearby Gore Range and Buffalo Mountain, the Blue River’s meandering, fir-lined banks, and the swelling, grassy river valley as inspiration, celebrating these natural wonders and the local neighbourhood throughout the property. The 111-key hotel takes inspiration from the town’s residents – workers who came decades before with dreams of mining for gold or to build the Dillon Reservoir as well as town dwellers who converge annually to celebrate stunning fractals in the snow, the Noche de Candela Festival or the Burning of the Snowman.
Hotel Indigo New Orleans – French Quarter takes inspiration from the sounds and sights of local traditions, including the booming melodies of brass bands, the creative costuming of locals and visitors alike, and the enticing beckon of the city’s “second line” parades.
The “second line” tradition is woven into the fabric of the community and dates back to the social aid and pleasure clubs of the early 19th Century. This celebratory parade was open to any and all to rejoice in life, eventually entrenching itself in the daily ritual of life – marking funerals and celebrations, or for no other reason than to convene in merriment.
Located in the Central Business District along the world’s oldest continuously operating street railway, the The 143-room hotel now stands at the very intersection where the historic St. Charles Hotel once loomed. The spirited neighbourhood, steps from the vibrant French Quarter, is a crossroads of historic architecture and contemporary life, with public artworks celebrating the city’s rich culture, notable theatres and lively new food halls.
The new Hotel Indigo Omaha Downtown reflects the careful craftsmanship of the past while meeting guests in the now. Underground vaults and tunnels make up parts of the historic Hotel Indigo Omaha Downtown, located blocks away from the Missouri River separating Nebraska and Iowa. The hotel welcomes guests with rich, textural elements and modern guestrooms. Paying tribute to the neighbourhood’s clandestine past is Anna’s Place, a speakeasy nestled within the hotel’s lobby that stirs up Prohibition-inspired cocktails made with local spirits and ingredients.
