Hotel Indigo Enhances Green Scene in Athens


Athens is now home to a brand new, eco-friendly hotel, Hotel Indigo. This sustainable endeavor molds together Southern charm and progressive ideas. Hotel Indigo is registered to become the first LEED Gold Certified hotel of InterContinental Hotel Groups, which has 4,100 hotels worldwide.

Hotel Indigo was built with recycled materials on a previously developed site. Energy efficient equipment as well as low flow plumbing was used throughout the building. The builders strategically situated the hotel to allow for maximum sun exposure and also designed an outdoor water feature that collects condensation from the HVAC system allowing the landscape to be irrigated. Hotel Indigo’s rooms and suites are even decorated with wood furnishings. Visitors driving hybrids or carpool vehicles are also rewarded with preferred parking at the hotel.

Not only is Hotel Indigo eco-conscious and chic, but it also meshes right in with Athens’ vibrant culture. The hotel is home to The Rialto Room, which is scheduled to host concerts of varied genres. Hotel Indigo, being a work of art in and of itself, also has a full service, fine art gallery, Mercury Art Works, which changes its exhibitions seasonally. Other innovative events being held at this new addition to Athens is Canine Cocktail Hour, where pet owners can bring their furry friends for a drink and meet other local dog owners.

Hotel Indigo is sure to be the up and coming place to stay for UGA gamedays and other popular Athens events as well as bringing attention to Athens’ growing eco-friendly culture. To make reservations, visit here.
