IHG has announced that a Hotel Indigo will open in Venice next year.
Hotel Indigo Venice Sant’Elena will be located next to the canal ‘Rio Sant’ Elena’, within walking distance to the Castello district, a 15-minute walk from St Marco Square.
This is one of the quieter areas in Venice. Converted from an old convent built in the 1930’s, the 77 room Indigo has two wings joined in the centre by a former chapel.
The hotel already operates as a Best Western Premier – the website is here – but will be remodelled before reopening as a design-led Hotel Indigo. A photo of the courtyard is above.
A 51-room boutique InterContinental was due to open in Venice this year, but that project has gone very quiet indeed and is no longer mentioned on ihg.com. We can be pretty certain that the Hotel Indigo conversion will actually happen. You can read more here.
EDIT: The hotel is now open as a Hotel Indigo and the website is here
