InterContinental Hotels Group is set to debut its boutique brand, Hotel Indigo, in France with the opening of Hotel Indigo Paris – Opera at the heart of the capital’s entertainment district.

Opening at the end of September 2014, the new hotel is set in the elegant Opera quartier of Paris, defined by its centuries-old love affair with the stage. Encircled by the most prestigious theatres, music halls and opera houses in France – as well as lesser-known but equally enthralling venues – each evening the neighbourhood comes to life with culture-hungry locals and tourists alike.

Inspired by Molière and shaped by Haussmann, the area is best known for its ornate opera house: The Palais Garnier, which provided the inspiration for Gaston Leroux’s world famous ‘Phantom of the Opera’.

As IHG’s boutique brand, every Hotel Indigo property is designed to reflect the local neighbourhood.

From the building design to the hotel’s artwork to the locally inspired menus, every Hotel Indigo is unique to its surroundings, so no two hotels are the same.

Hotel Indigo Paris – Opera truly reflects the fabric of its neighbourhood.

Unique touches echo the area’s cultural charm and opulent architecture throughout the hotel.

Traditional fabrics and opera-inspired murals blend perfectly with modern Parisian design to create a beautiful, unique interior.

After a day of enjoying the delights of the city’s individual arrondissements as well as both hidden and world-famous landmarks, Hotel Indigo Paris – Opera offers guests the perfect place for a refreshing drink or bite to eat.

Vincent Poulingue, general manager, Hotel Indigo Paris – Opera commented: “Hotel Indigo Paris – Opera is located right at the heart of the action.

“Paris is brimming with history and culture, and this neighbourhood provides the perfect base for exploring our enchanting city.

“We look forward to welcoming guests and helping them to explore both the famous landmarks and hidden gems located on every corner.”

The Hotel Indigo brand was launched in the United States in 2004, making it one of IHG’s youngest brands.

IHG, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has a broad family of nine brands in nearly 100 countries and territories to meet the needs of guests, whatever the occasion.

Hotel Indigo offers guests the individuality of a boutique hotel but with the benefits and reassurance of a big hotel company.
