Hotel Indigo, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has expanded its offering in the northwestern United States, with the opening of Hotel Indigo Vancouver Dtwn - Portland Area in Washington’s Vancouver Waterfront Park. The opening follows a year of significant global growth for the lifestyle hotel brand, which is set to expand its footprint to more than 200 open hotels in the next three years.
The 138-room Hotel Indigo Vancouver Dtwn - Portland Area, developed by Kirkland Development and managed by MKM Hotels, was built along the curves of the Columbia River on the city’s scenic waterfront, where explorers Lewis and Clark are rumoured to have tied their boat to the “Witness Tree” to survey the area’s fertile terrain.
Hotel Indigo Vancouver Dtwn - Portland Area has been designed to reflect the local culture, character and history of the surrounding area while celebrating its idyllic waterfront location. The hotel’s architect, Otak, and interior design firm, The Society, have infused nods to the Pacific Northwest into its sleek design.
Vice President of Global Brand Management for Hotel Indigo, Carol Hoeller said that the last year has been one of strategic growth for the company.
“The hotel brilliantly conveys the unique spirit of its vibrant surroundings through inspiring design and thoughtful touches woven throughout that celebrate the people, places and experiences that make its picturesque neighbourhood one-of-a-kind,” said Hoeller.
Paying homage to local history, natural wood furniture and water-inspired accents are contrasted against an earthy colour palette of taupe with hints of ocean blue and moss green. Modern guest rooms feature spa-inspired showers as well as a working desk.
Chairman of Kirkland Development, Dean Kirkland said that opening the doors to Hotel Indigo Vancouver Dwtn - Portland Area was a proud moment.
“Guests can expect to discover a wealth of cultural and recreational experiences just beyond the hotel’s doors, while locals can look forward to uncovering a host of new dining destinations that bring the community’s flavours into their spaces,” said Kirkland.
Hotel Indigo has 143 hotels open globally, with another 119 in the pipeline.
