IHG Opens First Hotel Indigo in Russia

InterContinental Hotels Group has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Russia with the opening of the Hotel Indigo St. Petersburg – Tchaikovskogo.

Located amongst the stunning architecture and historical prestige of Russia’s capital of culture, Hotel Indigo St. Petersburg - Tchaikovskogo is in the heart of the historic centre between the Neva and Fontanka rivers, the Summer Garden and Tavricheskiy Garden – an ideal spot for guests wanting to explore the city. T

he Fontanka River with its palaces and parks is said to be one of the most beautiful rivers in St Petersburg and the main street of Nevskiy Prospect is just ten minutes away.

Hotel Indigo St. Petersburg – Tchaikovskogo’s 119 bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling murals inspired by the neighbouring Summer Garden, the Foundry metal works and river embankments.

The street, Tchaikovskogo, was renamed in 1923 after the famous ballet and opera author, Tchaikovsky who was a student nearby and his influence is evident in the hotel through the décor of the hotel suites and corridors.

To reinforce the local neighbourhood feel, the interior décor of the hotel’s wellness studio and pool is derived from the mansions that line the Tchaikovskogo street and the splendid Summer Garden.

Guests can enjoy the city’s cultured lifestyle with a cocktail in the hotel’s Afisha Bar where the bar staff are also knowledgeable art-concierges and passionate about their city.

Guests can make use of the free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and enjoy their own selection of music through the iPod docking station in their bedrooms.

Tom Rowntree, IHG's vice president brand management upscale and luxury brands, Europe, said, “Hotel Indigo St. Petersburg -Tchaikovskogo will be the first Hotel Indigo to open in Russia. Located in the centre of Russia’s capital of culture, the property truly encapsulates the style and charm of this historical city for guests to enjoy, and we look forward to welcoming guests to this new hotel. We currently operate 13 Hotel Indigo properties in Europe, with 15* more in the pipeline.”

Hotel Indigo St. Petersburg – Tchaikovskogo operates under a franchise agreement with Vega LLC.
