In partnership with Greenland USA, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced the signing of the Hotel Indigo Downtown Los Angeles.
“Hotel Indigo continues to be a strong growth vehicle for IHG, and with 63 hotels open and a further 63 in the pipeline, there is excellent momentum for the brand on a global scale,” says Elie Maalouf, IHG’s CEO, the Americas. “We remain focused on building its presence in top-tier cities around the world and are delighted to be working with our trusted partners at Greenland USA on this iconic downtown L.A. property. Greenland Group owns eight IHG-branded hotels in greater China, and this marks the first time both companies have partnered together in the U.S.”
Currently under construction, the 350-room, 18-story hotel will be the company’s first Hotel Indigo in Los Angeles, located at the Greenland USA-owned Metropolis, a $1 billion mixed-use development also still under construction. The complex will include three residential towers and an assortment of retail outlets.
“We are pleased that Hotel Indigo Downtown Los Angeles will be part of Metropolis and the Greenland USA portfolio,” says I-Fei Chang, CEO of Greenland USA. “Hotel Indigo is a well-respected and sought after boutique brand that embodies the unique experience we intend to provide to those who visit downtown Los Angeles. We have a long-standing relationship with IHG, who share in our vision and support for the revitalization of downtown L.A. That was an important factor in our decision to select this distinctive and culturally relevant brand for the city.”
The site is nearby the Los Angeles International Airport, Hollywood, and Santa Monica Beach.
With architecture by Gensler and interior design by HBA’s LA office, the property’s aesthetic will be rooted in downtown LA’s past with inspirations including the Fiesta de las Flores, the pre-Hollywood nightlife scene, and the underground speakeasies of the 1920s.
The hotel is slated to open in the winter of 2016.
Additional Hotel Indigo properties have been announced for Denver, and Pittsburgh, as well as three new international signings including Bath in the UK and Dubai.
