Overview

Hotel Indigo, owned by IHG, is an international brand, but its most successful hotels are in the UK. This hotel is a great example of what can be done with an old building. It's a row of honey-colored Georgian houses dating back to the 1740s. They've turned it into a modern and luxurious space, blending history with contemporary style.

The hotel's interior design, branding, and marketing honor its Georgian heritage. They often do this in a stylized way that isn't strictly period-correct. The rooms and suites also show a mix of styles. They have unique color schemes, décor from different periods, and sometimes modern touches. The suites feature luxurious Hypnos beds, Nespresso coffee machines, and more modern amenities.

However, only when you add a restaurant to the mix can the whole package be considered complete. The Elder is a modern British restaurant. It offers "field-to-fork" dishes and highlights whole-animal butchery.

Hotel Indigo Bath's location is its biggest strength. It is located on a quiet road, just a few minutes from Bath's city center. This allows you to enjoy a tranquil retreat while exploring Bath.
