IHG Signs 285-Room Hotel Indigo in Dubai

InterContinental Hotels Group has signed a management agreement with Sunflower FZE for a 285-room Hotel Indigo in Dubai.

The Hotel Indigo Dubai Business Bay is located in the upcoming Business Bay District – a large, master-planned, mixed use community – and a stone's throw from the world renowned Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and the emerging Design District.

The hotel will feature an infinity edged pool boasting views of the world’s tallest building, a fitness centre, an all-day dining restaurant, delicatessen, a specialty restaurant and bar as well as meeting space.

Jitendra Bhatia, Director, Sunflower FZE, said, “Dubai as an investment market has evolved tremendously over the four decades since we have been here. Travel and tourism has picked up pace and we are looking at a growing service economy which is in need of more hotel rooms to cater to a rising proportion of GCC and international travellers. This is our first foray into the hospitality space and IHG was a natural choice when we were looking for a reputable hotel company to partner with. We are very pleased to be developing the first Hotel Indigo in the UAE and look forward to developing a great and inspired hotel experience for our guests."

The hotel is scheduled to open in 2017.
