Hotel Indigo has made its debut in New Zealand with the official opening of Hotel Indigo Auckland, marking a significant addition to IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury & lifestyle portfolio.
IHG Hotels & Resorts’ lifestyle brand that draws inspiration from the local neighbourhood, Hotel Indigo, has made its New Zealand debut with the official opening of Hotel Indigo Auckland in Midtown on Albert Street. The much-anticipated 225-room hotel is a powerful neighbourhood storyteller, blending rich local history, culturally inspired art, and globally influenced cuisine, creating a vibrant new destination for both visitors and Aucklanders in the City of Sails.
Matt Tripolone, Managing Director – Australasia & Pacific at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Hotel Indigo is one of the world’s leading lifestyle brands, and we are excited to see its New Zealand debut in Auckland as we continue to grow IHG’s portfolio of exceptional luxury & lifestyle stay experiences in the Australasia.”
A Celebration of Local Heritage and Design
Located on the historic site of a 1912 motor house that imported Cadillacs into New Zealand, Hotel Indigo Auckland’s design pays homage to its industrial past with an exciting mix of heritage-listed and modern architecture. Stunning interiors and gallery-quality artworks make every corner of the hotel an immersive cultural experience.
Neighbourhood-Inspired Guest Rooms
True to Hotel Indigo’s philosophy that no two properties are the same, the design of Hotel Indigo Auckland embraces the site’s motoring heritage. The hotel’s 225 rooms (including 10 accessible rooms) feature automotive-inspired touches such as rear-view mirrors above plush king-size beds, industrial-style open wardrobes, headlamp lighting, pegboard shelving, and upholstery reminiscent of classic car interiors.
Bienvenue Bistro Saine
Taking centre stage of the hotel’s culinary offering is Bistro Saine, a refined yet approachable French-Mediterranean restaurant led by Executive Chef Yutak Son, a Korean-born, French-trained culinary talent. Rooted in seasonality and local provenance, Bistro Saine draws inspiration from Europe’s grand brasseries and the energetic dining scenes of New York, seamlessly blending timeless French techniques with modern Mediterranean influences from Southern France, Italy, and Spain.
Prime Location
Located near key landmarks including the New Zealand International Convention Centre (opening February 2026), Sky Tower, SkyCity Casino, Britomart, Wynyard Quarter, and the Viaduct, Hotel Indigo Auckland offers the perfect base for both business and leisure travellers.
