April 11, 2014 // Franchising.com // InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®), one of the world's leading hotel companies, has opened Hotel Indigo® Madrid – Gran Via, a few steps from the most modern, vibrant and cosmopolitan strip in the Spanish capital.

Located in an area peppered with iconic buildings, fashion brands, film references and nightlife spots, the hotel is the boutique brand's second property in Spain, alongside Hotel Indigo Barcelona – Plaza Catalunya which opened in 2012.

As IHG's boutique brand, every Hotel Indigo property is designed to reflect the local neighbourhood. From the building design to the hotel's artwork and locally inspired menus, every Hotel Indigo is unique to its surroundings so no two hotels are the same. Hotel Indigo Madrid – Gran Via's 85 individually designed rooms take inspiration from the history of the local area with unique accents and design features. Murals are visible throughout the hotel, showcasing well-known sites on Gran Via that reflect its energy and vitality. Furniture and interiors draw on eclectic architectural influences, from Art Deco to Baroque.

Guests of the new hotel can experience Madrid's glamorous lifestyle whilst sipping a signature cocktail from the stunning rooftop terrace. Moving downstairs to the Gastrobar & Restaurant, visitors can enjoy seasonal Mediterranean menus created by renowned chef, Andrea Tumbarello, alongside a diverse wine and cocktail list. Guests can also expect features such as free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and Nespresso machines in every room.

Hotel Indigo Madrid - Gran Via provides an ideal base for exploring the vibrant city. The area is truly the nerve centre of urban life in Madrid, with a legacy in leading the way in Spanish innovation, architecture, fashion, and entertainment while continuing to be the voice of modern Madrid.

This newest addition to the brand truly encapsulates the style and charm of Madrid, a chic cosmopolitan city for guests to enjoy both inside and out. We look forward to welcoming guests to this special neighbourhood."
