Hotel Indigo, a stylish 122-bedroom boutique hotel in the heart of Cardiff has been brought to the market with Colliers’ specialist Hotels team handling the sale. Representing a prime investment opportunity, the property has a highly sought-after location and IHG branding. The guide price for the long leasehold interest is £5 million.
Part of Dominions House, an elegant early 20th-century building formerly used as offices that has no listed status restrictions – the hotel has been stylishly converted into a dynamic hospitality offering. The hotel has six upper floors, plus ground and basement levels and Hotel Indigo offers plenty of scope for future operators.
Situated in the heart of the city centre a mere five-minute walk from the Principality Stadium, the hotel is part of IHG’s upscale boutique lifestyle brand comprising 191 properties worldwide. Hotel Indigo Cardiff stands out for its unique design, influenced by the local neighbourhood. Guests experience various aspects of Welsh culture through themed rooms showcasing local materials, history and arts.
The hotel offers outstanding facilities, including 122 air-conditioned letting bedrooms, bar with stunning city views, and a relaxing roof terrace. Lefel 6, the hotel’s chic restaurant, offers an impressive 90-cover dining experience, while Bute & Co, the ground-floor coffee house, blends Welsh design and heritage with a welcoming atmosphere.
Located just off Queen Street, Cardiff’s main retail area, the site benefits from significant footfall in a city which attracts over 18 million tourists annually. The hotel also enjoys a steady stream of business from the nearby universities and major businesses based in the capital.
Peter Brunt, Director in Colliers’ Hotels team overseeing the sale, commented: “Hotel Indigo Cardiff offers an incredible opportunity to acquire a high-profile asset in a bustling city that’s known for its vibrant tourism and business sectors. With its prime location, upscale design, and strong backing from IHG, it’s an ideal investment for any hotel operator looking to expand or enter the Cardiff market.”
Josh Sullivan, Associate Director in Colliers’ Hotels team also involved in the sale, added: “The sale of the Hotel Indigo marks a rare opportunity to acquire a compelling branded asset, with a large quantum of keys in a central capital city location, all at an attractive price point. Consequently, we expect to receive significant interest from a diverse range of operators, investors, and sources of capital.”
