Looks like Yotel isn't the only "modern" brand that can go on an expansion binge. InterContinental has announced plans to open its third Texan Hotel Indigo in San Antonio. The new property has an ambitious opening date of "early 2008."

The Hotel Indigo at the Alamo will take up residence in the Gibbs Building downtown, but it won't be the first hotel to repurpose a downtown building. The Drury Plaza Hotel San Antonio River Walk opened in a renovated Art Deco bank this past February. If the PR spin is to be believed, though, the Indigo might be a touch more classy:

Hotel Indigo at the Alamo will feature renewable elements such as vivid murals, area rugs, plush duvets and slip covers that will change periodically. Public spaces will be transformed seasonally through changing artwork, music, flora, murals and directional signage.

Sounds nice, but will it offer that signature Indigo smell?

Well, Texas is a big state, so three isn't that many. But if you're anti-Indigo, it's gonna be a rough year for you--there's dozens more "in the pipeline," they say.

As for why they exist at all, I couldn't tell you. Might have something to do with InterContinental wanting a classier brand than a Holiday Inn Express.
