Intercontinental Hotels Group has announced plans to bring its boutique Hotel indigo brand to the Russian capital.
Hotel Indigo Moscow – Tverskaya will be housed within a converted building on Tverskaya Street, and will feature “approximately 100 rooms”, as well as a gym and lobby bar.
The property is scheduled to open by the end of 2020, and will be the second Hotel Indigo in Russia, joining the existing Hotel Indigo St Petersburg Tchaikovskogo.
The Hotel Indigo brand was launched in 2004, and currently has over 100 properties across 19 countries, with plans to double its portfolio over the next three to five years.
Forthcoming locations include Lima, Doha and London’s Clerkenwell district.
