Hotel Indigo, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts luxury and lifestyle portfolio, officially opens the doors to Hotel Indigo Torquay. Set within the heart of the charming British coastal town in South Devon, the new boutique hotel is a stone’s throw from transport links around the country, as well as local attractions, including Torquay Museum, Kents Cavern, Princess Pier and Torre Abbey Sands. Hotel Indigo Torquay is owned by Singapore-based Fragrance Group and managed by IHG Hotels & Resorts. Just as no two neighbourhoods are alike, no two Hotel Indigo properties are alike. Each is designed to uniquely reflect the local culture, character, and history of the surrounding area. Celebrating Torquay’s rich maritime heritage, Hotel Indigo Torquay is a testament to the town’s exciting revival. Every detail throughout the property is inspired by its vibrant seaside surroundings, using sandy tones, artisan decor and bold colourways that ensure the local neighbourhood is woven into the very heart of the hotel’s character and charm.

The hotel will feature the world’s first Regent Spa and six distinctive dining options, two of which are helmed by award-winning chef Andrew Walsh.
