IHG Hotels & Resorts to Open Hotel Indigo Palau, Showcasing the Republic of Palau’s Pristine Marine Paradise

Hotel Indigo Palau will be IHG’s third hotel in Micronesia when it opens in late 2024

DENHAM, UK, 2023-Mar-01 — /Travel PR News/ — IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Palau Coral Club, to open Hotel Indigo Palau at the end of 2024.

Hotel Indigo Palau will boast an outstanding location on Malakal Island, fronting onto a coral reef with amazing views and immediate access to world-class diving and marine life. It will feature approximately 200 guest rooms, an all-day dining Neighbourhood Café and separate restaurant, a sunset bar by the pool, meeting rooms for 60 people, a resort centre, swimming pool, spa and gymnasium, and all the facilities necessary for guests to relax and enjoy a memorable stay.

An island country rich in nature with more than 200 islands surrounded by beautiful seas and coral reefs, the Republic of Palau is regarded as one of the world’s best destinations for divers from all over the world, as well as snorkelling, kayaking, boating and many other ocean activities.

The Hotel Indigo brand is famous for bringing the ‘Neighbourhood Story’ of its destination to guests, weaving the location into various aspects of service, design, art and storytelling. This makes it the perfect brand to showcase Palau’s amazing character, history, culture and natural beauty to guests from around the world. Hotel Indigo Palau’s story will present a ‘Pledge to the Miraculous Sea’, with a theme inspired by the natural beauty of Palau, one of the most pristine marine paradises in the world.

IHG Hotels & Resorts Managing Director, Japan & Micronesia, Abhijay Sandilya said:

“I’m so proud and excited that we have signed an agreement to open a Hotel Indigo property in Palau with the owner, Palau Coral Club, whose largest shareholder is Mr. Takao Yasuda, founder of Pan Pacific International Holdings Ltd. (PPIH). This will be IHG’s first property in Palau, and its third in Micronesia. It also follows on from the recent signing of Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya with PPIH, which will open in 2023. While Indigo Tokyo Shibuya and the Palau beach resort are two very different destination, they are both attractive destinations in their own right, attracting tourists from all over the world with a unique story and experience. We are confident that both will be very successful, sharing the unique stories of their respective neighbourhoods with the world. We thank PCC and PPIH for their great partnership, and look forward to working together for many years ahead.”

Hotel Indigo Palau’s easy accessibility from its key feeder markets, including Japan, Korea and China, means that it is destined to once again become a popular destination for many tourists from all over the world as travel resumes.

There are currently 135 open Hotel Indigo properties around the world, and a development pipeline of 124 hotels. In Japan, there are three Hotel Indigo properties open (Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora, Hotel Indigo Karuizawa and Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen Garden), with Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya scheduled to open in autumn 2023.

IHG continues to focus on expanding its portfolio in Japan and Micronesia.
