Hotel Indigo Will Open on State Street in Santa Barbara on March 1
Well, this is surprising. When we were compiling our Master List of 2012 Openings, we totally did not see that Hotel Indigo would be opening in Santa Barbara. But lo and behold, an is announcement out today says that our favorite boutique brand is opening in March in the former Hotel State Street.
Opening after a multi-million dollar renovation, Hotel Indigo Santa Barbara combines the historic Santa Barbara splendor with the architectural sophistication of modern design.The forty-one room boutique hotel has thirteen guest rooms featuring private outdoor gardens and fourteen guest rooms with views of the Riviera and mountains or urban scenes dotted by palm trees.

Hotel Indigo Vancouver Gets Delayed to a December Opening
The Hotel Indigo Vancouver is such a tease. First, it was going to open May 6, then it was pushed to June 15. Now it looks like we won't get any hotel action until Christmastime: The hotel is accepting reservations after December 6.
We're Hotel Indigo fans—we named Hotel Indigo No. 1 for best WiFi in our 2011 HotelChatter Annual WiFi Report—so we are happy the brand is expanding. We're looking forward to having a free-wifi option in Vancouver.

How to Watch a Padres Game in San Diego Without Going to Petco Park
We've told you before Hotel Indigo San Diego's Parlor Suites, which give you a sweet view of Petco Park. But if you end up in a room that doesn't face the Padres action, or aren't staying at the hotel at all, you can still watch some ball.
For Wednesday's Padres vs. Braves game, we hung out at the hotel's Level 9 lounge, which, not coincidentally, is on the ninth floor. The outdoor lounge, which also contains a grassy area for pets and a reflective pool, has a prime spot facing the ball park.

Hotel Indigo Glasgow Is Open But It'll Cost You
Well, that told us. No sooner had we expressed doubts that Hotel Indigo Glasgow would be opening on schedule last Monday, what with the website not accepting bookings and no staff around to answer the phone when we called to reserve, someone from the hotel told us we were wrong, and that the hotel did in fact open as planned on 18 April. Our bad. Maybe having some staff on rezzie duty three days before opening might have solved that confusion.
Anyways, a room tonight will set you back £129, whereas last time we checked, they were going for £115. It’s an odd decision to up their prices, seeing as Malmaison, which is probably the hotel they’re most likely trying to challenge, has rooms for tonight for £89, or, if you spend £75 in the restaurant, they’ll give you a room for £10.
Alternatively, you can score a room at the delicious Hotel du Vin Glasgow for £75 tonight. And that, don’t forget, is not only among our top sexy hotels evah, but also comes with free sightings of The Great Piers Morgan thrown in on the side.

Hotel Indigo Glasgow May Not Be Picking Up The Phone As Scheduled On Monday
Ruh roh, are we looking at another delayed hotel opening? This time it’s the turn of the Hotel Indigo Glasgow, which was scheduled to open on Monday. Only problem is, that although the website states that the opening date is on track, it isn’t showing any availability until the following Monday, 25 April.
It does, however, have a note saying that for reservations before 2 May, you're meant to call them. So, to give them the benefit of the doubt, we gave them a call today (during office hours - at 3pm Glasgow time no less) and found the phone ringing, ringing... and going straight to voicemail. Not answering the phone at 3pm? That doesn't sound like a hotel opening in three days time.

Hotel Indigo in Houston Still Has (Funky) Rooms for the Final Four
If you're a fan of Virginia Commonwealth University, you probably never thought this weekend would happen. But if you're a fan of VCU, then that means you're probably looking for a hotel room in Houston, Texas for the NCAA Final Four. After all, you'd be crazy to miss this appearance.
While hotel rooms in Houston are in high demand this weekend, they aren't at exactly Super Bowl rates. Looking at HotelRates.HotelChatter.com, we were psyched to see the Hotel Indigo Houston at the Galleria going for $209 on Saturday and Sunday night. That includes free WiFi, very bright guestroom decor and hardwood floors (perhaps this could come in handy if you need to dribble out the nerve?). And it's actually $20 less than the nearby Hilton Garden Inn. Does HGI put haikus in the guestroom? No, they do not.

Hotel Indigo Vancouver Will Debut Late On June 15
When we compiled the mother-of-all-hotel-openings list, the Hotel Indigo Vancouver was set to debut May 6. But looks like the hotel's opening has been pushed back, since reservations are only being accepted for June 15 and beyond.
In the meantime, let's dish on what we can expect when the former Plaza 500 Hotel reopens its doors. The downtown hotel's 153 contemporary rooms will have hardwood floors and the chain's trademark oversized photo murals on its walls. Less than a mile from Olympic Village, the 14-story hotel will offer views of the city and surrounding coastal mountains. Inside the room, you'll find perks like free WiFi and a 42-inch LCD television.

Hotel Indigo Glasgow Announces an Opening Date of 18 April, But Expect May
The Hotel Indigo roll out is gathering speed, first we gave you the low down on Hotel Indigo Liverpool and this week it’s Hotel Indigo Glasgow.
According to the website, it's due to open April 18, though the fact that reservations are only being taken for 2 May onwards makes us think that it's going to be another delayed opening. Located on the corner of Waterloo and Blythswood Street, in the heart of Glasgow's financial district the hotel will be housed within a 19th century Victorian building - let’s just hope they keep some of its original features.
Rated a four-star plus each of the 94 rooms will have wood floors, wool rugs, unique murals featuring city scenes, free WiFi and iPod docks. Whilst the property will also feature state of the art business facilities and a bar and grill named Limelight. And we have to say, that studded headboard is looking fly already.

Hotel Indigo Liverpool Will Open 8 July But Don't Expect a Beatles Theme
It'll take a few hard day's nights of work to get this finished in time
Hotel Indigo is on a roll this year with no fewer than 57 hotels in the works, but this week we’re focusing on what to expect from the two UK properties opening this summer, the Hotel Indigo Liverpool, scheduled to open July 8 (pushed back from an original Spring opening), and Glasgow, down for May 2. Today: Liverpool.
If you haven’t been to Liverpool, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Although we’d like to say it’s not all about the Beatles, that’d be a lie – the city is totally all about the Beatles. But it also has stately architecture, a thriving nightlife scene, and an outpost of London’s wonderful Tate art gallery (currently hosting a modern sculpture exhibition).
It’s also up there with Newcastle on the friendliest locals in Britain list, and there is, of course, an epic ferry in which to cross the Mersey.
The Indigo will be located on Chapel Street, half a mile from the Albert Docks (the most tourist-friendly part of Liverpool, with the Tate, Beatles Story, and plenty of bars, restaurants and shops, all on the waterfront in renovated dock buildings). And if that sounds a lot, fear not – it’s only a five minute walk from the Mersey ferry terminal, and about seven minutes to North John Street, home to the Cavern Club, Hard Day's Night Hotel, and 50,000 Beatles fans at any one time.

If You Have to Check a Bag, Then You Might Want to Stay at a Hotel Indigo
We really, really like the new-ish Hotel Indigo brand from InterContinental Hotels. For starters, free WiFi. Secondly, the rooms are different from property to property and lastly, the brand loves to haiku.
But now there's another reason to book at Hotel Indigo.
As part of IHG's Check It Free promotion, guests who book at IHG Hotels will now get up to $100 back for checked luggage fees. Groovy! Of course, it's not quite that simple.
You must stay two nights at either a Hotel Indigo, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suite or a Candlewood Suite (all 4,500 hotels worldwide are participating), pay with a Visa card and provide proof of a checked bag on a roundtrip flight.
