Much like what developer Sam Chang is doing in New York--putting <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/2/18/13045/5372/hotels/The_Man_Behind_Manhattan_s_Newest_Hotels">two or three hotel brands in one building</a>--the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/intercontinental%20hotels">Intercontinental Hotels</a> brand is hoping to do the same thing in the master-planned community of Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, a sort of suburb close to Dallas. Las Colinas has been a breeding ground as of late for these new types of boutique-y chain brands aimed at business travelers since the community is home to 2,000 companies and serves as the global HQs for a few Fortune 500 companies. Already, Las Colinas will be getting an Aloft and a NYLO.Now Intercontinental plans to house a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/crowne%20plaza%20hotels">Crowne Plaza</a> and

<![CDATA[[Ed. Note: Welcome to our Good Rate/Bad Rate feature where we look at hotel prices in the same city and decide which one most deserves your hard-earned benjamins. Rates quoted here were captured on April 28, 2008 and are subject to change.

How bad would the damage be if a husband wanted to take the mother of his children away for the weekend? We pulled up the nights of May 9 and 10 and came out better than expected, with nightly rates under $200 before taxes at Hotel Sax, Raffaello Hotel, Kimpton's Hotel Monaco, and W Chicago City Center. So why is a standard

It took the developers of Hotel Indigo Nashville a while to transform a blocky concrete office building into a hotel with style, but the wait was worth it. We got to spend the night in room 710 (see the video tour here), spreading out in a city view room with plenty of attractive lighting, a hip living room with nods to the 1950s, and free WiFi that actually worked in multiple locations.

But first, what does it look like? Find out after the jump.

Nashville: Hotel Video Tour :: The New Hotel Indigo Nashville

Tim L. — 2008-01-25T14:05:01-05:00

Like Starwood's W chain, the ICH group's new Hotel Indigo line is a "branded boutique hotel," meant to be hipper than your usual hotel chain, but not so hip that it will put off business travelers. Indigo goes all Zen on us, with a Haiku on the side of the building, moving images projected on the hallway walls, and decorating touches that change with the seasons.

We'll have a full review of the just-opened Hotel Indigo Nashville next week, but meanwhile here is a video tour of room 710, a spacious city view room with two flat-screen TV's and a vaguely mid-20th-century collection of furniture. Enjoy!
