IHG Signs Hotel Indigo in Bath, United Kingdom

InterContinental Hotels Group  has signed an Hotel Indigo in Bath, United Kingdom.

The Hotel Indigo Bath will operate under a franchise agreement with St James’ Hotels Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Somerston Group, a longstanding IHG partner.

The hotel will be Somerston’s first Hotel Indigo property and forms part of a larger portfolio of Hotel Indigo hotels being developed by the group.

The hotel is expected to open towards the end of 2016.

The 121-room property will be rebranded from two existing hotels and a restaurant all located in a Grade 1 listed historic Georgian building on South Parade. It will feature a restaurant, bar and gym.

Hotel Indigo Bath will be located right at the heart of Bath city centre, close to Bath Abbey and to the famous Thermae Bath Spa.

Shaun Robinson, Managing Director of St James’ Hotels Group said, “Hotel Indigo and Bath are the perfect fit. I am very excited to be bringing the brand to a place that enjoys a world-wide reputation as a ‘must-see’ city drawing guests from every continent, keen to experience the architecture, the culture and the history.”

Last year, the Hotel Indigo brand celebrated its tenth anniversary with the opening of its 60th hotel globally. In Europe, there are 17 Hotel Indigo properties open with a further 12 hotels signed into IHG’s development pipeline. Of those, 8 Hotel Indigo properties are open in the UK and a further 7 are in the pipeline. There are currently 7 IHG hotels in Bath.
