Atlanta based Rialto Property Partners and Savannah-based Melaver announced that the new Hotel Indigo commenced construction in downtown Athens near the University of Georgia’s campus.
The boutique hotel will have 130 guest rooms and plans to be open by fall 2009. The building is anticipated to be among the first three hotels in the world to achieve LEED Gold-Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Hotel Indigo Athens will offer residential-inspired guest rooms with such features as hardwood floors and spa-like showers. In addition, the property will have an outdoor garden lounge and terrace, an art gallery, a 3,000-square-foot Presidential Suite and a music venue adjacent to the hotel.
