Traditionally focused on urban settings, the brand is strategically adding unique destinations across the globe.

The expansion allows the brand to cater to a broader audience, including travellers seeking immersive experiences beyond cityscapes.
Intending to double its portfolio between 2027 and 2029, Hotel Indigo prioritises resorts.
With 15 open resorts across six regions at present, 34 additional resorts are in the pipeline.
