DOWNTOWN CLEVELAND’S NEWLY OPENED HOTEL INDIGO
At the heart of Cleveland’s cultural core, where the arts, theater and athletics districts meet, a 143-key hotel has taken on a new persona as a distinctive boutique hotel. The Hotel Indigo emerges from a substantial cosmetic transformation into a sophisticated, comfortable hotel designed for the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG).

KDG worked closely with the local advisory committee to develop a successful facelift to the façade that preserves historic materials and elements while updating the street level experience. The hotel is located in a historic 1940s building with a taller addition completed in 1997. Features of the historic building were repainted while the façade at the restaurant, Headliner, was reclad with glossy white brick and a black brick base. To unify the two buildings, the black base continues in porcelain across the newer building. |

Taking inspiration from the nearby entertainment districts, KDG’s design team created a modern, approachable version of Hollywood Regency. The ground floor lobby and amenities spaces were fully renovated. The lobby features raised ceilings, geometric designs and high-contrast hues. All the fabrics are touchable glam such as velvets and leathers.

A new marketplace, business center, and fitness center extend the lobby. The courtyard was renovated and improved for three-season use. Brightened spaces, bold patterns, historic references, and glamourous materials uplift the restaurant, guestrooms, and corridors throughout the building.
