IHG Signs Hotel Indigo in Phuket

Hotel Indigo, IHG’s new boutique hotel brand, has signed a resort in Phuket, Thailand. This is Hotel Indigo’s second development in Thailand and the first boutique in a resort destination globally.

Located only 15 minutes away from the Phuket International Airport, the new resort will be built at the northern end of the island on Nai Thon Beach.

Boasting beachfront access, guests will be able to enjoy crystal clear waters while relaxing amidst the exclusivity and privacy the location offers. Hotel Indigo Phuket Naithon Beach Resort is expected to open 1 June 2014.

“Globally, we are aggressively expanding Hotel Indigo’s distribution - our focus is on bringing our newest and fast growing Hotel Indigo brand into markets where there is demand, with current developments in key cities like New York, Hong Kong and Bangkok, where the first Hotel Indigo in Thailand will be located. The favourable business environment in Phuket, one of our key resorts markets in the region, makes this an ideal partnership with Tiansin Property Development Co., Ltd.,” said Jan Smits, Managing Director of IHG Asia Australasia. “Nai Thon beach is a beautiful neighbourhood that reflects a different side of Phuket most tourists are not exposed to. We have no doubt that Hotel Indigo Phuket Naithon Beach Resort, through its personal service and design influenced by local surroundings, will offer visitors a distinctive resort experience.”

Hotel Indigo Phuket Naithon Beach Resort will be a low-rise development housing 120 rooms and 15 villas, with a comprehensive list of facilities such as an all-day dining restaurant and bar, swimming pool and spa. Incorporating local art, materials and fabrics throughout the space, the resort will be stylish, yet refreshingly local.

Globally, there are 38 Hotel Indigos and the brand continues to expand in major cities such as Madrid, Vancouver, Mexico City, Glasgow and Liverpool. In Asia Pacific, Hotel Indigo made its debut late last year with the Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund, and will soon see openings in Taipei and Bangkok, amongst others.
