IHG adds Hotel Indigo Torquay to its UK leisure portfolio

IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, announces the signing of Hotel Indigo Torquay with The Fragrance Group. The 153-room hotel marks the 26th open and signed Hotel Indigo in IHG’s UK & Ireland portfolio.

 

Hotel Indigo Torquay adds to the market’s growing luxury and lifestyle collection and bolsters IHG’s reputation in one of the UK’s premier leisure destinations.

 

Located in Devon, Hotel Indigo Torquay will provide guests with memorable stays entrenched in the neighbourhood’s individuality.

 

It is expected to open in the second half of 2025 and become the ideal seaside holiday or short break destination for domestic and international travellers.

 

The hotel is located in Torquay which forms one of three towns with Paignton and Brixham which make up the larger resort of Torbay – The English Riviera.

 

Hotel Indigo Torquay’s stylish rooftop bar, extensive sea facing terraces, destination restaurant and bar on the ground floor will overlook the Torbay with views towards the beaches, harbour and marina, helping guests immerse themselves in the picturesque coastline.

 

Guests staying at Hotel Indigo Torquay will be able to use the well-equipped gym or relax after a long day exploring the traditional English seaside town with a range of treatments at the on-site spa.

 

Joanna Kurowska, Managing Director, UK & Ireland, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Our Hotel Indigo brand has experienced accelerated growth in Europe and globally in recent years, propelling owner and guest appetite for the brand. Leisure destinations such as Torquay, known for its seaside charm and year-round activities, perfectly embody Hotel Indigo’s commitment in providing guests with memorable stays entrenched in the stories of their neighbourhoods.

 

With our UK & Ireland growth strategy focused on conversions and capitalising on opportunities in leisure and secondary markets, Hotel Indigo Torquay is a great example of a hotel we are keen to add to our growing portfolio. We are also delighted to partner with Fragrance Group for the first time with this significant hotel and look forward to growing our partnership in the future.”

 

The property will join 19 open Hotel Indigos in the UK & Ireland market, including Hotel Indigo Coventry which opened last year.

 

Hotel Indigo Torquay also joins IHG’s six properties currently in development, including Hotel Indigo London – Clerkenwell and Hotel Indigo Leeds, both slated to open in Q2 2025.
