Coventry hotel celebrates first anniversary

A boutique hotel in Coventry is celebrating a successful first year as it marks its first anniversary.

Hotel Indigo, part of the IHG luxury and lifestyle portfolio, opened in January 2024 and hit the ground running after creating a hospitality experience which draws on Coventry’s vibrant heritage.

The hotel also features Cogs Restaurant, a stand-alone restaurant which is open to members of the public as well as guests at the hotel.

Open seven days a week from 7.00am, the restaurant serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and an evening a la carte menu, and the bar area provides a perfect location for pre and post dinner drinks.

Chefs at the restaurant focus on creating diverse, flavour-driven menus to cater for all palates and occasions, using locallysourced ingredients.

Sunday lunch is also served from 12pm until 4pm and afternoon tea is also available daily between 12pm and 4pm.

Once a month the restaurant opens its doors for steak night, featuring a special menu and live music for diners to enjoy, and a bottomless brunch menu is set to be launched in the coming weeks.

The hotel also boasts 101 rooms, a fitness suite and a meeting room for up to 10 people.

Paige Coton, of Hotel Indigo, said:

“We’ve had an extremely successful first year. We opened on January 26, 2024 and the hotel was full by the following week, which demonstrates the need for luxury accommodation in the city.

“We are an extremely modern hotel, but are very connected to the community, and all of our décor ties to the heritage of the local area – including a penny farthing which we have on loan from Coventry Transport Museum.

“Our staff are given training to ensure they have a strong knowledge of the area and are promoting our wonderful city to guests.

“We also pride ourselves on using fresh, local produce and products from local suppliers, including having Sky Blue Army lager from Dhillon’s Brewery both on tap in the bar and in cans in the mini fridges in our rooms, as well as stocking Warwickshire Gin Company gins.

“Our restaurant is one of the main draws of the hotel, and we have a fantastic team of chefs who have created some excellent menus which cater for all.

“Our steak night is a particular favourite, and we have had some brilliant live entertainment, with more booked for 2025 – all of which is advertised on our social media channels.

“We can also cater for small meetings in our boardroom and utilise space in our bar area for informal networking.

“We are extremely excited for the year ahead and look forward to welcoming even more guests to both the hotel and restaurant in 2025.”
