Denham UK, 2017-Jul-18 — /Travel PR News/ — InterContinental Hotels Group® (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has announced the signing of Hotel Indigo® London – One Leicester Square. The hotel marks IHG’s fourth Hotel Indigo property in London and the 11th in the UK.
Due to open in late 2017, the hotel is based in one of London’s busiest cultural hubs. Leicester Square is a melting pot for all things cinematic and theatrical at the heart of London’s West End, and this will be reflected in the hotel’s art deco design.
Hotel Indigo London – One Leicester Square will have 95 guest rooms, a rooftop bar and restaurant, where guests will be able to take full advantage of the amazing views of central London. Other facilities will include a gym and meeting rooms.
The hotel will operate under a franchise agreement with Criterion Capital.
Andrew Shaw, Associate Vice President of Development UK&I, IHG commented: “We are really excited to be opening another Hotel Indigo property in London, especially in such an iconic location. Leicester Square boats such a vibrant atmosphere and is a huge drawcard for theatre lovers and cinema goers. Hotel Indigo London – One Leicester Square will be a highly valuable addition to the Hotel Indigo brand family and we look forward to working with Criterion Capital on this exciting project.”
Michael North, Head of Hotels, Criterion Capital commented: “We are pleased to be opening our first Hotel Indigo hotel with IHG later this year. It was important for us to partner with an operator that could offer us such a strong brand, and Leicester Square has its own personality and neighbourhood story, which is why Hotel Indigo is the perfect fit for the area.”
Hotel Indigo is one of IHG’s boutique brands with 75 hotels (9,214 rooms) open and 76 hotels (10,437) in the global pipeline. The brand has grown rapidly since its launch in 2004 and continues to be a strong growth vehicle for IHG with a strategy focused on growing in top tier priority markets in desirable urban centres and established destinations. Boutique is the fastest growing segment in the hotel industry and since Q3 2016 alone, IHG has signed eight Hotel Indigo properties across Europe.
There are currently 21 Hotel Indigo hotels open and 18 in the pipeline across Europe.
Additional signings include:
Hotel Indigo® Warsaw – Nowy Swiat opened in May this year and Hotel Indigo® The Hague – Royal Palace and Hotel Indigo® London – Aldgate are due to open later this year.
