Hotel Indigo Makes Its Debut in Sydney

Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point

Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point has officially opened its doors, debuting the neighbourhood-inspired global brand in Sydney.
Tucked behind the iconic neon Coca-Cola sign, the new style of boutique hotel provides curious travellers a front row seat to King Cross's famed round-the-clock culture of hospitality and entertainment.

The unveiling of the 105-room boutique hotel marks a new chapter in the property's history thanks to owner and operator Pro-invest Group's multi-million-dollar refurbishment, inspired by the eclectic Kings Cross neighbourhood that's been a place for creatives and revellers for nearly a century.

With a nod to the locales past, present and future as a mecca for musicians, entertainers and artists, guests are welcomed into a theatrical lobby where a curated art collection sets the tone – from NFT dance projections that come alive at night to a striking photographic portrait wall of famous and up-and-coming performance artists that have graced local stages. Guests can even add their own touch to the atmosphere, selecting vintage vinyl records to spin on the lobby's turntable.

Playful, neighbourhood-inspired elements continue on the guest room floors, with lenticular signage and commissioned artwork paying tribute to the area's famed cabaret and drag show scene and Deco architecture. Sought after city, Sydney Harbour views or distinct neon lit streetscapes provide the outlook from creatively furnished rooms and suites, some offering private outdoor terraces and balconies. While mini bars are generously stocked to help kick-off a night out or kick-start the day, an all-day in-room beakfast menu is expected to be a popular order. Local designer bathrobes and Biology care amenities add another level of comfort.

Renowned Sydney chef, Luke Mangan, has also taken up residence with his new restaurant and bar, Luc-san. The streetside French Izakaya is another part of the revitalisation of the site and places Hotel Indigo guests right next door to Potts Point's buzzing new hot spot. Room service can also be ordered in from the French-Japanese menu.

Luke Mangan also oversees The X Café, a bijoux-sized early morning to late afternoon café nestled in the hotel lobby serving day-break lattes to lunch time bites daily to guests and locals.

Curated neighbourhood guides to help guests discover more Potts Point bistros, boutiques and galleries by day and bars, clubs, and theatre by night start right from the hotel's doorstep on Kings Cross Road, while Sydney's Botanic Gardens, harbourside and the CBD are all within easy strolling distance.

“Our multi-million-dollar refurbishment has reimagined this property to introduce Hotel Indigo's creative spirit to Sydney for the first time, celebrating the rich character of the area and adding to the re-energisation of this famous part of the city,” said Jan Smits, CEO, Asia Pacific of Pro-invest Group, the owner and operator of Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point.

Hotel Manager of Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point, Caitlin Walter is looking forward to sharing the new neighbourhood-inspired gem with curious travellers looking to enjoy the city in news ways: “We're sure guests will be captivated by how we've playfully weaved the past, present and future of Kings Cross into everything we do to offer a new creative place to stay and play in Sydney.”

Matt Tripolone, Managing Director - Australasia & Pacific at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are thrilled that the first Hotel Indigo has opened in Sydney bringing one of the world's leading boutique lifestyle brands to the city. It's an exciting time for the brand as it continues to grow in Australasia and across the globe as one of the world's leading boutique lifestyle brands. No two Hotel Indigos are alike, and Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point will be an exceptional example of the brand's culturally rich boutique offering. I'd like to congratulate Pro-invest Group for bringing the newest addition to life and thank them for their continued partnership.”
