"Earning "points for not being afraid to look a little different", this "peaceful" venue evokes "an island vacation" with hip -- if somewhat "overwhelming" -- "seashell/maritime"-themed decor."
Lonely Planet
"A cool place to refresh and recharge in this big hot city. Hotel Indigo brings the casual fun of the seaside to the Galleria area with beachy appeal and vibrant colors."
