How it started
History
The first Hotel Indigo opened in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, in October 2004 and a second location opened in the historic Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, in May 2005 (later being foreclosed and re-branding as the Claridge House). The chain's first non-US property, which in 2017 became the independent Metcalfe Hotel, was opened in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
