Hotel Indigo Raleigh Opens Following $36 Million Overhaul

Hotel Indigo Raleigh Opens Following $36 Million Overhaul of 1969 Circular Landmark

The reimagined Hotel Indigo Raleigh is now open and accepting reservations at 320 Hillsborough St., marking the $36 million revitalization of a 1969 circular tower in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. The 204-room boutique hotel preserves its unconventional five-decade-old architecture while introducing mid-century-modern interiors, local artwork, and a new top-floor bar and restaurant.

Interior Design and Structural Updates by NYC and Architecture Firms

New York City-based interior design firm Inc. shaped the hotel’s new look, using the building’s curved footprint to guide a layout of sculptural forms, geometric patterns, bold colors, and polished chrome accents. Warm oak finishes honor Raleigh’s identity as the City of Oaks, alongside natural cork materials and a curated collection of North Carolina art assembled by nineDOTarts. Architecture and design firm ESa spearheaded the structural updates, reconfiguring ground-floor spaces into an open check-in area and an outdoor courtyard coffee bar housed inside a vintage Airstream trailer. Tidal Real Estate Partners acquired the property in 2021, and Denver-based Sage Hospitality Group manages daily operations.

High Ground Lounge and Ground-Floor Amenities Offer Dining and Fitness

Positioned on the 20th floor, High Ground Lounge operates as a new rooftop destination serving modern Southern cuisine, craft cocktails, and panoramic views of the city skyline. On the ground floor, the property features a light-filled community lounge connecting the arrival spaces and the Airstream coffee bar. The property also includes flexible meeting and event venues for corporate gatherings and a 1,500-square-foot fitness center equipped with TechnoGym machines. Carlos Faz serves as the general manager of the property, which joins existing Hotel Indigo locations in Asheville and Winston-Salem.
