The recently opened Hotel Indigo Flushing, located in Flushing, NY, takes its design cues from diversity.
The 150-room hotel, managed by Urgo Hotels & Resorts, tells the stories of the community’s rich past and diverse present, weaving its sights, sounds and flavors into the design and guest experience. Flushing’s reputation as a cultural melting pot began centuries ago when it became the setting of the first commercial fruit tree nursery in the U.S., grown with seeds sourced on trade routes between China, the Middle East and Europe. Today, the Taiwanese immigrants who first opened businesses decades ago are joined by international newcomers. Design firm JacksonCreative Group has combined this storytelling with organic materials and finishes in the boutique lifestyle hotel’s interiors.
Guests are welcomed by a dramatic peach blossom tree art piece and a cascading chandelier, reminiscent of raindrops, in the atrium-style lobby. Each of Hotel Indigo Flushing’s urban contemporary guestrooms features a gray and soft yellow color palette, as well as peach blossom murals, creating an airy organic look while hinting at the neighborhood’s past. King Terrace guestrooms feature private terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the city skyline.
Botanica Bar & Lounge is a dining environment featuring a menu of handcrafted cocktails and bites that reference the neighborhood’s global influences, including handmade Dim Sum.
“The opening of Hotel Indigo Flushing is an exciting development for the fast-growing Hotel Indigo portfolio,” said Carol Hoeller, VP, global brand management, Hotel Indigo. “We strive to make locals proud with each new opening, celebrating the neighborhood and becoming part of the community. This hotel demonstrates the best of Flushing, both in the design and guest stay, and will provide travelers with an authentic new experience that empowers them to explore.”
