GAINESVILLE, FL—IHG has signed a deal for a 120-room, new build Hotel Indigo here in the new Celebration Pointe neighborhood. Celebration Pointe is a mixed-use project with a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere and abundant green space.
“Our guests want to experience something unique and different when they travel, so we like that Celebration Pointe won’t be the typical commercial development,” said Mary Winslow, director, Americas Brand Management, Hotel Indigo. “Every Hotel Indigo property is carefully designed to reflect the culture, character, and history of its surrounding neighborhood, and this area gives us a one-of-a-kind canvas with which to start.”
The Hotel Indigo Gainesville hotel, expected to open in 2016, will be strategically located within the mixed development project between SW 49th Terrace and SW 50th Terrace, facing a park setting. The franchised property will have approximately 120 guestrooms.
The hotel will feature the brand’s new Neighborhood Guide, a touchscreen display that connects guests to each other, the local neighborhood, and to Hotel Indigo locations around the world.
