Hotel Indigo Announces its Debut in Los Angeles

by Nellie Day

LOS ANGELES — The City of Los Angeles is set to receive its first Hotel Indigo. The 350-room Hotel Indigo Downtown Los Angeles will be the flagship hotel at Metropolis, a more than $1 billion mixed-use development.

Hotel Indigo is currently under construction and scheduled for completion in winter 2016. It will be located at 899 Francisco Street.

The hotel was designed by Gensler. Its décor will feature narratives from Downtown LA’s past, including Fiesta De Las Flores, the glamorous pre-Hollywood nightlife scene and the underground speakeasies of the roaring ‘20s.

Metropolis, which is also under construction, will feature three residential towers and a curated retail experience. It is owned by Greenland USA.

The Hotel Indigo Downtown Los Angeles is owned by Greenland LA Metropolis Hotel Development LLC. It will be managed by an affiliate of IHG.

The hotel is being developed by IHG and Greenland USA, a subsidiary of Shanghai-based Greenland Group. Though this will be the eighth IHG-branded hotel for Greenland Group, this will be the first time the companies have partnered together in the U.S.

The Hotel Indigo brand also recently announced it will open its first Denver-area hotel inside Union Tower West, a 212,000-square-foot development, in late 2016.
