MILAN—IHG has signed Hotel Indigo Milan – Corso Monforte, which will be the brand’s second Italian property, joining Hotel Indigo Rome – St. George.
Scheduled to open early 2018 under a franchise agreement with Amapa Group, the historic palace building will be converted into a 55-key hotel. The property will have a destination restaurant, courtyard and a leisure and fitness center.
Hylko Versteeg, IHG’s associate VP of development for Southern Europe, commented, “Boutique remains the fastest growing segment in the industry and Hotel Indigo has expanded rapidly since launching in 2004, opening its doors in 15 countries around the world. Here in Europe our strategy is focused on growing in key urban centers and established destinations, which describes Milan perfectly. Amapa Group is already a partner of ours and we’re pleased to be extending our relationship with them to bring Hotel Indigo to Milan.”
Amapa Group currently has one other property with IHG: Holiday Inn Express Rome East.
There are currently 19 Hotel Indigo properties open in eight countries across Europe with a further 14 hotels in the pipeline. IHG has 31 hotels open across Italy.
