Mood Indigo

Along Melbourne’s iconic Flinders Lane sits Hotel Indigo Melbourne, a haven for cultured urban adventurers.

TO CONSIDER Melbourne’s Hotel Indigo, you cannot merely look at it as a hotel. It is defined by several factors: Melbourne’s richly metropolitan status; its location by the heart of Melbourne; the artistic history of the avenue it is in; and its association with InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG).

Its location is, perhaps, the most obvious reason for its popularity. The hotel is situated just down the street from Southern Cross Station, which has a SkyBus terminal for easy access to the airport. For those who want to take in Melbourne’s famed retail and epicurean scene, its location is ideal — far enough away from the bustle of central Melbourne (and the bars, restaurants, malls, and boutiques of Collins and Bourke Streets), but not too far that one is isolated from amenities. It’s a short walk away from the Yarra River and its many riverfront lifestyle destinations.
