IHG Signs First Hotel in Gibraltar

InterContinental Hotels Group has signed its first hotel in Gibraltar, under a franchise agreement with property developers, Roquebrook.

Located close to the Old Town and just a five-minute drive from Gibraltar International Airport, the Hotel Indigo Gibraltar will offer rooms facing north towards Spain and eastward-looking rooms with views over the historic Northern Defences.

Converted from an existing office block, the building will be entirely reconfigured with a new facade and rooftop extension to form the 120-room Hotel Indigo Gibraltar.

In addition to a onsite gym, the hotel will also have a restaurant and bar designed to attract locals as well as guests.

Hylko Versteeg, Associate Vice President of Development, IHG, Southern Europe, said, “We’re delighted to be opening our first IHG hotel in Gibraltar with Roquebrook, which we recognise is becoming an increasingly popular destination for both business and leisure travellers. The Hotel Indigo brand continues to rapidly grow in boutique, the industry’s fastest growing segment, and we’re excited that the Rouquebrook team recognise the brand’s huge potential for their latest project.”

There are currently 24 Hotel Indigo properties (2,182 rooms) across Europe, with 20 hotels (2,353 rooms) in the development pipeline.
