Hotel Indigo, Clerkenwell
Brief: Transformation of the Hat & Feathers pub into the latest Hotel Indigo from IHG
Background: This carefully executed project by Omniport transformed this historic building into a magnificent new hotel featuring 144 bedrooms as well as beautiful ground floor public spaces. In keeping with the signature style of Indigo hotels, the local area influenced the design of the rooms, which are categorised as Architects, Clockmakers and Goldsmiths, with furniture reflecting these themes. Notable features include the custom desks with built-in cutting boards in the Architects rooms.

“Much of a Hotel Indigo’s retelling of their individual neighbourhood story is achieved through design, weaving in local themes and references, thus demanding bespoke, considered solutions rather than standard off-the-peg options. Curtis’ genuine interest in the successful execution of the brief, giving nods to the local goldsmiths, architects and horologists, was both reassuringly productive and also refreshing. The initial expectations from us, the client, did not encompass the flexibility, time and grace that the Curtis team utilised, allowing the successful navigation around the preliminary value engineering and design adaptation demands, nor did we predict the continuation of this additional layer of client support which transpired to be pivotal to dissolving several unexpected hurdles which emerged as the build progressed.”
