## Hotel Indigo Irving – Las Colinas Opens: A Unique Boutique Hotel Experience in the Heart of Texas
IHG Hotels & Resorts continues its impressive expansion in Texas with the grand opening of the Hotel Indigo Irving – Las Colinas. This stylish 150-room boutique hotel marks the 13th IHG property to debut in the Lone Star State in 2024, joining other successful launches like the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk and the Kimpton Santo Hotel. Situated just northwest of Dallas, a mere 10-minute drive from Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL), the hotel offers unparalleled convenience and access to the vibrant Las Colinas neighborhood.
Developed and owned by Shree M Capital, the Hotel Indigo Irving – Las Colinas is more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience. Nestled along the picturesque Mandalay Canal, the hotel’s design is a masterful blend of old-world European charm and Western flair, reflecting the unique character of Las Colinas. This captivating design, conceived by Texas rancher Ben Carpenter, seamlessly integrates limestone accents, meticulously curated landscaping, and a vibrant interior that celebrates the region’s rich heritage.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by a striking ceramic installation of a mockingbird, the Texas state bird, a bold and colorful centerpiece that sets the tone for the hotel’s distinctive ambiance. The reception area is adorned with over 150 hand-woven tiles crafted from natural materials, while pendant lights inspired by ranch lassos add a modern touch to the Western theme. The overall interior design palette draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the area—dried grasslands, limestone, wildflowers, rust, and steel—creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.
Guest rooms offer a unique blend of comfort and storytelling. Woven headboards and hand-knotted rugs, inspired by textiles discovered during Carpenter’s global travels, add a layer of sophisticated detail and intrigue. Each room reflects the hotel’s commitment to providing a memorable and personalized experience.
A Culinary Journey and More:
The hotel’s signature restaurant and bar, KLEO, offers a delectable contemporary Mediterranean menu, perfect for breakfast and dinner. Beyond the hotel’s walls, guests have access to over 150 diverse dining options in Las Colinas, representing a global culinary tapestry. Beyond dining, the hotel provides an array of amenities designed to enhance guest relaxation and well-being, including:
