InterContinental Hotels Group and Pointcorp have signed a management agreement for a newbuild Hotel Indigo, set to be located in Fortitude Valley – Brisbane’s cultural and creative centre. The 140-key hotel on Brunswick Street will be the first Hotel Indigo signing for Australia and New Zealand, and is slated for a 2020 opening.

Hotel Indigo Brisbane Fortitude Valley will aim to bring to life the unique vibe of the valley, home to the city’s cultural, creative, music, fashion and gastronomy scenes. Its Brunswick Street location will allow guests to explore the the area’s art galleries, laneway restaurants and boutique stores during their stay, in addition to the Valley’s nightclubs and live music venues.

Karin Sheppard, Chief Operating Officer Australasia & Japan, IHG comments: “We expect Hotel Indigo Brisbane Fortitude Valley to be the leading lifestyle boutique hotel in Brisbane, bringing a new and vibrant experience to the city. Guests staying at Hotel Indigo Brisbane Fortitude Valley will eat, drink, dance, listen, shop, admire and experience everything that the Valley has to offer. It’s a neighbourhood that’s historical yet shiny and new; traditional but experimental. Hotel Indigo will bring to life the spirit of this neighbourhood, and celebrate its diverse community.”

Hotel Indigo Brisbane Fortitude Valley will be part of a mixed-use development that will also include residential, commercial office and retail spaces. It is expected to be the first development of its kind in the area.
