The recent unveiling of Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman has added a touch of brilliance to Grand Cayman’s picturesque Seven Mile Beach. Developed by IHG Hotels & Resorts and Dart, the highly anticipated upper upscale lifestyle hotel offers an unparalleled island oasis, boasting 288 exceptional sunrise and sunset ocean view guest rooms, multi-concept dining, including one of the island’s only rooftop lounges, an elevated pool and beachside experiences, and abundant event spaces for the local community and visiting guests to enjoy. Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman marks Dart’s second hotel with IHG Hotels & Resorts, joining the award-winning Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa, also located on Seven Mile Beach.

“We are incredibly excited to share Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman with the world," said Steven Andre, general manager.

"From the initial planning stages to the essential details that our team has been finalizing in recent weeks, it has been an incredible journey — and now, the real adventure begins, as our first guests arrive to experience our version of paradise.”

Each Hotel Indigo is as unique as its location. It has drawn vibrant inspiration and energy from the local culture, aiming to immerse guests in authentic experiences and forge genuine connections with its neighbourhoods. With this ethos at its core, Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman brings the essence of the destination to life through its unique sights, sounds, and flavours.

“Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman represents the essence of what it means to be 'The World's Neighborhood Hotel' by forging meaningful connections with dynamic communities and celebrating local flavours," said Carol Hoeller, vice president of global brand management at IHG.

"Grand Cayman, with its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural tapestry, marks our first Caribbean location for the brand, and we’re excited for guests to uncover and cherish this exceptional destination's unique neighbourhood story.”

From effervescent pink seashell paint to visionary local artwork to clever nods to Grand Cayman’s maritime heritage, Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman’s vibrant design has already garnered accolades, including the Cayman Islands Hotel Architecture Award and the Cayman Islands New Hotel Construction & Design Award for 2023-2024. Farouki Farouki, a New Orleans-based architecture and interior design practice, unlocked their vision for the resort by focusing on Grand Cayman's unique culture, embodying the island's lush topography through warm and cool colour palettes. The art and design pay tribute to the island's natural landscapes, historical figures, and cultural traditions, featuring hand-made pottery vessels and curated artwork by local Caymanian and Caribbean artists.
