IHG Plans Two Hotel Indigos for the UK

IHG has signed two new Hotel Indigo properties in the UK, both of which will reflect their respective cities and cultures. Scheduled to open in 2010, the 96-unit Hotel Indigo Glasgow will occupy a converted bank structure. "The building will retain its original character while the design reflects the contemporary, individual style that guests expect from a boutique hotel," says Maurice Taylor, CEO of Chardon Management, the hotel’s franchisee. Meanwhile, the 151-room Hotel Indigo Liverpool, on track to open in spring 2011, will be situated in the city center. Sanguine Hospitality is franchising the hotel.
