“We are thrilled that the first Hotel Indigo property will launch in Victoria. It’s an exciting time for the brand as it continues to grow in Australasia and across the globe as one of the world’s leading boutique lifestyle brands,” said Matt Tripolone, Managing Director, IHG Hotels & Resorts – Australasia & Pacific.
