IHG Hotels to Open Hotel Indigo on Palau Paradise Island

IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Palau Coral Club to open Hotel Indigo Palau. Hotel Indigo Palau will be IHG’s third hotel in Micronesia when it opens in late 2024

Hotel Indigo Palau will boast an outstanding location on Malakal Island, fronting onto a coral reef with amazing views and immediate access to world-class diving and marine life.

The hotel will feature about 200 rooms, an all-day dining Neighbourhood Café and separate restaurant, a sunset bar by the pool, meeting rooms for 60 people, a resort centre, swimming pool, spa and gymnasium, and all the facilities necessary for guests to relax and enjoy a memorable stay.

An island country rich in nature with more than 200 islands surrounded by beautiful seas and coral reefs, the Republic of Palau is regarded as one of the world's best destinations for divers from all over the world, as well as snorkelling, kayaking, boating and many other ocean activities.

The Hotel Indigo brand is famous for bringing the 'Neighbourhood Story' of its destination to guests, weaving the location into various aspects of service, design, art and storytelling. This makes it the perfect brand to showcase Palau’s amazing character, history, culture and natural beauty to guests from around the world. Hotel Indigo Palau’s story will present a ‘Pledge to the Miraculous Sea’, with a theme inspired by the natural beauty of Palau, one of the most pristine marine paradises in the world.

Hotel Indigo Palau’s easy accessibility from its key feeder markets, including Japan, Korea and China, means that it is destined to once again become a popular destination for many tourists from all over the world as travel resumes.

There are currently 135 open Hotel Indigo properties around the world, and a development pipeline of 124 hotels.

In Japan, there are three Hotel Indigo properties open (Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora, Hotel Indigo Karuizawa and Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen Garden), with Hotel Indigo Tokyo Shibuya scheduled to open in autumn 2023.
