HOTEL INDIGO

Nestled between a pizzeria and science museum, both designed by AB design studio, Hotel Indigo is the first art hotel located in the popular State Street tourist area. With the exterior charm of a Victorian-era building, the 15,870-square-foot interior was gutted and remodeled with a sleek, modern décor, updated amenities, and features curated, museum-quality artwork. 

 
 
Through well-appointed design and built-in cabinetry, the architects maximized each room’s compact floor plan. The architects thoughtfully incorporated graphic murals in guest rooms and interior spaces that depict various art mediums
