Hotel Indigo is a 12-story, steel and glass, 210-room property located in San Diego, CA’s Little Italy neighborhood. The hotel bears the distinction of achieving several “firsts” in the region’s sustainable hospitality design, including the first sustainably built hotel and LEED® certified hotel in San Diego, and the first LEED® certified hotel in the U.S. for InterContinental Hotel Groups.  It is the first downtown San Diego building to boast a green roof, with the 9th and 12th floor roofs covered in sedum. The 9th floor Phi Bar Terrace deck utilizes composite decking made from recycled polyethylene plastic and wood fibers, while the bar terrace incorporates floor-to-ceiling glass wall systems allowing the entire room to open onto the roof deck for natural ventilation, light, and views overlooking PETCO Park, the bay, and all of downtown San Diego. Another series of glass walls on the hotel’s primary commercial street front corner blurs the line between interior and exterior, while guiding guests and San Diego’s balmy breezes into the space.


The branded boutique hotel includes five suites. A 40’ sculpture, Indigo Waters, adorns the curved façade wall; the imagery also deployed on chair backs, floor patterns, light fixtures and the Phi Bar terrace metalwork, offering a distinctive experience for the technology and design-savvy customer marketplace.
