IHG Hotels Opens Hotel Indigo Bordeaux - Centre Chartrons

For its third opening in France, Hotel Indigo, part of the IHG Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, has chosen the bohemian city of Bordeaux as its new "pied-à-terre". The boutique hotel is located in the central Chartrons district, a picturesque neighbourhood just a short stroll from the Garonne River.

At Hotel Indigo Bordeaux – Centre Chartrons - with its colourful new address, the nearby Bassin d'Arcachon bay on the Atlantic coast with its beachside hues, the famous Dune du Pilat and its authentic oyster huts all serving as design traits throughout the hotel. Much more than just a destination, the hotel's 100 rooms are unique, as is the cuisine of the rooftop restaurant, Tchanqué.

Hotel Indigo is the world’s neighbourhood hotel, celebrating how guests can discover, or rediscover, some of the most inspiring and culturally rich neighbourhoods in and outside of our hotels across the world. When staying at a Hotel Indigo, it is not just to visit a place, it is about being fully immersed into the neighbourhood yourself and wanting to take a little bit of it home with you.

Specifically for Hotel Indigo Bordeaux, the neighbourhood of Chartrons is named after a medieval charterhouse and has lived a million lives since. Once a meeting place for the great wine merchants, today it's a popular spot for locals and connoisseurs of design and antiques.

The Chartrons' main street, Rue Notre-Dame, is home to numerous restaurants with sunny terraces, wine bars and some of Bordeaux's best bakeries. There are also boutiques selling accessories, bohemian chic fashion, handmade toys and local gourmet products.

Each room is an invitation to imagination and family memories. With its warm, reassuring yellow tones, the "Pilat" guest room recalls sunny afternoons spent on the sandy dunes. The "Sunset" room, with its orange and coral colours, is a reference to the sunsets people watch together nearby.

The ‘Lagoon’ room, reminds one of the tranquil blue seas whilst the ‘Rotunda’ suites encapsulate the very best of the hotel in terms of aesthetic design and visual splendour.

The hotel is accessible by public transport and is located near the Cité des Vins, the Bassin Des Lumières, the Jardin Public and the majestic Place Des Quinconces. It's right in the heart of the Chartrons district, known as a small "village" within the city.

Rooms at Hotel Indigo Bordeaux will feature premium suites with panoramic views, premium family rooms, standard and premium rooms, its rooftop restaurant Tchanqué with a breath-taking view of the neighbourhood, a gym, a coworking space open to the public and four conference rooms.

This opening is the latest addition in the rapid growth of the Hotel Indigo brand, which has 145 open hotels and 128-strong pipeline globally and is introducing itself to must-visit destinations around the world at a rapid rate, capturing the spirit of local neighbourhoods everywhere.
