Hotel Indigo Opens First of Three Properties in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, MO (HOTELS-STL.com), July 5, 2009 - Hotel Indigo has announced the opening of Hotel Indigo St. Louis Central West End following a $10 million renovation by Roberts Hotels Group of the historic Bel Air West Motel, which first opened in 1958 as the city's first motel.
The Central West End property is the first of three Hotel Indigo properties planned for St. Louis; additional hotels are slated to open in University City and the downtown convention district in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Located in an upscale neighborhood known for its rich architectural heritage, the 127-room boutique hotel was recently included on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service.
"We've had our eye on this hotel for several years now. Thanks to the design flexibility of the Hotel Indigo brand, we've been able to restore the architectural and historic detail of the building while also infusing a sophisticated and relevant design palette that's expected from a boutique hotel," said Steven Roberts, president of the Roberts Companies. "The structure showed so much promise, and we were thrilled when the opportunity came to restore it to its former glory while adding a new, chic brand to the market."
Roberts Hotels Group, a subsidiary of The Roberts Companies, owns both the Hotel Indigo St. Louis Central West End and the downtown property currently in the pipeline. The Roberts Companies is owned by Michael and Steven Roberts, two brothers ranked among the country's most successful African-American businessmen.
"As the 'Gateway to the West', St. Louis is a vibrant, internationally renowned city with a distinctive culture that makes it popular as both a business and leisure destination, and we're pleased to be working with the Roberts Hotels Group on two projects there," said Janis Cannon, vice president, global brand management, Hotel Indigo. "The Interpret Indigo design program will allow us to offer a unique experience at each of these properties in St. Louis, while still providing the service culture and consistency that our guests expect."
