"This has a general urban feel" that you find in Los Angeles and other large cities, and appeals to the "late 20s and late 30s demographics," said Rey, 26. It doesn't have the "cookie-cutter feel" of many hotel chains. "This is a great addition to El Paso." Tomas Rey, back in his hometown for a business trip, was impressed with the hotel after staying there Tuesday night. "But when you see it live, finished, it's a big satisfaction." "To get the artistic part to match with the operations of the hotel was not easy," Diaz said. The hotel lobby, located on the fifth floor, where the hotel really begins, looks out to the pool and bar areas. It also features paintings, murals, sculptures and photos by mostly local artists in rooms and public areas.

The hotel's design incorporates exposed concrete pillars, wood panels, steel components and huge windows throughout that give it an urban, industrial feel. The last was the independent Artisan Hotel, which closed in March 2010 after a rocky five months of operation by a Las Vegas hotel owner. The 12-story building, with a three-level parking garage sandwiched between its ground floor and seven floors of hotel rooms, housed several hotel brands over the years. The hotel's ground-floor restaurant is still under construction and is expected to open by the end of February, said Miguel Diaz, the hotel's general manager.

21 - about a month later than Nair's group had announced in November when construction was still in full swing. "That was a pleasant surprise" that showed a lot of local interest in the new hotel, he said. Nair, chief executive officer of Esperanto Developments, an El Paso hotel developer and operator, said the Downtown hotel seeks to not only attract out-of-town travelers, but also plans to draw El Paso residents to its Circa 1963 lobby bar and ground-floor restaurant, with a goal of becoming the local "staycation spot."Ī Facebook posting during the weekend about the hotel opening brought about 80 people to the fifth-floor bar Saturday night, Nair said. "Now, the battle is to get the service culture and operational part perfect. "I feel great," said Madhi Nair, one of the hotel's owners, as he stood in its expansive fifth-floor bar, which looks out toward an outside pool area with close-up views of historic Downtown buildings and the mountains above Juárez. It's part of the Indigo chain started in 2004 by InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHS, one of the world's largest hotel companies. Kansas St., a block from City Hall, was gutted and turned into a sleek, hip, 119-room boutique hotel at a cost of more than $12 million. Hotel Indigo has opened in Downtown El Paso in a 53-year-old building that was transformed through a yearlong multimillion-dollar renovation. I will gladly book the Indigo Bali Seminyak beach hotel again on my next stay in Seminyak.The hip factor in Downtown hotels has gone up. The gym room is large and provides a good equipment. A highlight are of course the large pools and direct access to the beach.

For breakfast I was served there by a young man, whose name I unfortunately no longer remember, but who also offered the best service. I have particularly good memories of Ema and Kurnia from the restaurant. Everywhere I came across very friendly staff who always greeted the guest with a smile. The lobby and the restaurant are also characterized by a very stylish design, which I have already experienced with the Indigo Bangkok and which I always like about these hotels. The large balcony had a beautiful view of the Secret Pool and the palm trees. The Oasis room I booked was large and very stylishly furnished.

At check-in I was greeted very friendly by the staff and given a welcome drink. The Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach is an ideal place to stay if you want to spend your vacation days on the beautiful Sugarsand Beach and next to Double Six Beach in Bali.
