Hotel Indigo Unveils First LEED Gold Property

Hotel Indigo Athens University Area has debuted in Georgia as the brand's first LEED Gold property.

Hotel Indigo Athens University Area has debuted in Georgia as the brand’s first LEED Gold property. The five-story, 130-room hotel has implemented a series of eco-friendly initiatives to achieve certification. Recycled and locally manufactured materials were used in the building’s construction, while all guestroom furniture was sourced from a regional manufacturer within 500 miles from the hotel. Other green features include a regenerative elevator, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and an outdoor water cistern that collects condensation from the air conditioning system to supply irrigation to courtyard foliage,

Taking inspiration from Athens’ distinct Southern heritage, Atlanta-based Surber Barber Choate & Hertlein Architects Inc. shaped the building to be reminiscent of the region’s covered bridges, and Ellen Hanson Designs of New York City gave the interiors a "southern farmstead modern" feel. Each guestroom features oversized locally reflective photo murals of native flowers found in a nearby garden taken by local photographer Rinne Allen.

In addition, the hotel highlights Athens’ rich art and entertainment history with a full-service, on-site art gallery and music venue. Mercury Art Works will feature fine artwork produced primarily by local artists with exhibitions changing seasonally. An on-site music venue will host intimate musical performances.
