IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement to open a 130-room Hotel Indigo in Ubud, Bali, scheduled for 2027.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of a new Hotel Indigo property in Ubud, Bali, in partnership with Ristia Group. The hotel, which will feature 130 rooms, is slated to open in 2027. This development marks the second IHG property in the Ubud area, following the recent announcement of Kimpton Bali Ubud. The move is part of IHG’s strategy to expand its Luxury & Lifestyle segment in Southeast Asia and Korea, where it currently has 92 hotels either open or in development.
The new Hotel Indigo will be situated in the Blangsinga Waterfall and Village area, a site known for its local attractions, including craft markets, retail centers, and a glass bridge spanning a valley. The hotel will be adjacent to an ancient riverside temple and surrounded by green hills. This location aims to connect guests with the cultural and natural heritage of Ubud, a region that has become a key destination in Bali for cultural, wellness, and nature tourism.
The addition of Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud will enhance IHG’s growing portfolio of the Hotel Indigo brand in Indonesia, which already includes properties in Bali Seminyak Beach, Bandung Dago Pakar, and Bintan Lagoi Beach. Globally, the Hotel Indigo brand comprises 183 hotels across more than 25 countries, with 132 additional properties in the pipeline.
Indonesia remains a strategic market for IHG, which currently operates 33 hotels in the country and has 12 more in development. The introduction of Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud is expected to strengthen IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle offerings in Indonesia, complementing other properties such as Regent Bali Canggu and Six Senses Uluwatu.
The expansion into Ubud aligns with the growing interest from travelers seeking destinations that offer a blend of cultural experiences and natural beauty. The hotel will provide locally inspired design and curated experiences for solo travelers, families, and groups. It will also offer local guides, interactive social experiences, and culinary programs highlighting Balinese flavors.
