Hotel Indigo Coventry officially opens after multi-million-pound project

Hotel Indigo Coventry officially opened its doors on 24 January after the completion of a multi-million-pound project which took 19 months from start to completion. The boutique new-build property reflects the ethos of Hotel Indigo, part of the IHG Luxury and Lifestyle portfolio, by creating a hospitality experience that draws on “the history, rhythm, and pulse” of Coventry’s vibrant city, for both leisure and business guests. The hotel features Cogs Restaurant and Bar which celebrates the growers’ and producers in Warwickshire and the British Isles. The kitchen is open and fully integrated, allowing the chefs to be a part of the diner’s experience. The Bar, with 100 seats, is both “stylish and captivating”, creating an atmosphere both for pre- and post-dinner drinks. The hotel also features a fitness suite, a wine wall, and a meeting room for up to 12 people. Comprising 101 bedrooms, the rooms are designed around three themes reflecting the style of Coventry’s historic neighbourhood - The Spinning Wheel, Motor City and Re-imagining and Regeneration. All rooms are equipped with Hypnos beds with Egyptian cotton linen, spa-inspired bathrooms, Nespresso coffee machines in the suites and premium rooms, high speed Wi-Fi and a variety of channels on a 40” flat screen TV. The hotel is situated next to Coventry Railway Station, a short walk from the city’s cultural attractions including Coventry Cathedral, Coventry Transport Museum, and the Herbert Art Gallery. The hotel is part of a wider Friargate regeneration project that is set to transform this area of the city into a bustling hub of activity. Michael Lyons, general manager at Hotel Indigo Coventry, said: “We are delighted to open Hotel Indigo Coventry which is the newest and most exciting hotel in the West Midlands. Coventry has something for everyone, whether you're a sports enthusiast, a lover of the arts, or someone who enjoys exploring nature. “We love to deliver locally inspired and innovative restaurant and bar concepts and this hotel is a prime example of how Hotel Indigo draws on the local neighbourhood to inspire every aspect of the hotel. We look forward to welcoming guests to this beautiful new hotel where history meets contemporary elegance.”
