Hotel Indigo, a contemporary 107-bedroom hotel with a connecting bar and restaurant is set to open in Leeds this summer, following a multi-million-pound investment.
Bringing more than 60 jobs to the city, the 4,173m2 hotel will feature more than 100 hotel bedrooms, two meeting rooms which act as the perfect space for conferences and working lunches.
This will be the 20th Hotel Indigo set to be opened by IHG Hotels & Resorts in the UK to date and it will showcase sustainability at its heart in line with the group’s commitment to responsible travel through its Journey to Tomorrow initiative.
Journey to Tomorrow is IHG Hotels & Resorts’ 10-year sustainability plan aimed at creating lasting, positive change in the hospitality industry that focuses on improving social equity and tackling climate change through clear targets.
Additionally, the hotel will also be home to a modern new restaurant, The Banksia, located on the ground floor of the hotel.
Bringing Mediterranean all-day dining to Leeds, The Banksia will celebrate a mix of cultures, echoing the diversity of modern Leeds with its flavourful menu, complete with fresh, local ingredients.
Simon Grace, general manager at Hotel Indigo Leeds, said: “Bringing a taste of the sun-soaked Mediterranean, The Banksia bar and restaurant will become the perfect hub for after work drinks, or to wine, dine and dance the night away – whether people are looking for a private small plates meal with friends, or a large scale a la carte dining experience, The Banksia perfectly caters for it all.”
Keval Thakerar, director of Belfont Hotels, the hotel’s owners, added: “Leeds is such a thriving city, and we can’t wait to become a part of it. Every Hotel Indigo is different, and this applies to our Leeds site, as we capture the essence of the city’s neighbourhood through unique touches.”
