"Part of a midpriced boutique chain launched by InterContinental Hotels, the Hotel Indigo has an exuberant Margaritaville-meets-Nantucket design theme."
Fodor's
"Even though this hotel caters to business travelers, there is something refreshingly noncorporate about its guest rooms and lobby, which is dressed in plucky blues and greens."
