Hotel Indigo due to commence construction on 11th July

The legal transaction has officially completed for the development of Hotel Indigo in the Friargate area of Coventry and construction is due to commence on 11th July. This upscale boutique hotel for IHG near Coventry city centre was designed by Chapman Taylor.

The 100-key, 4-Star Hotel Indigo will host a 100-cover fine dining restaurant (with a flexible private dining/meeting room and mini-gym) and a 40-cover bar and a guest lounge at ground floor level. The public functions are arranged adjacent to the main pedestrian street to provide an active frontage and a sense of vibrancy, with extensive glazing providing transparency and encouraging restaurant/bar trade from passers-by.

The spacious and high-ceilinged ground floor will be extensively glazed, with the levels above expressed in a silver-blue metallic cladding to create the visual illusion of the upper floors ‘floating’. Darker columns of recessed glazing will contrast with the cladding to give the building a striking ‘barcode’ appearance.

Chapman Taylor designed the new Hotel Indigo for developer and operator Castlebridge Group. The hotel sits opposite the Council’s new headquarters, which together form part of the wider Friargate business district masterplan, funded by a joint venture between Coventry City Council and Friargate LLP. The masterplan is a new entry point to the city from Coventry train station including the extended Greyfriars Green Park.
