IHG Hotels & Resorts is getting ready to open a new Hotel Indigo in Torquay sometime in late 2025, adding another spot to its growing list of places to stay across the UK The 153 room property, developed in collaboration with The Fragrance Group, will be situated in Devon, within the popular seaside area of Torbay. This hotel is part of a bunch of new Indigo locations being worked on and will be added to the 19 already up and running around the UK and Ireland.

The hotel will include a rooftop area with sea views, a ground-floor restaurant facing the waterfront, and on-site amenities such as a spa and fitness room. Positioned in Torquay, which forms part of the English Riviera alongside Paignton and Brixham, the building is intended to incorporate local design elements while contributing to the area’s existing tourism infrastructure.

Torquay is surrounded by a range of attractions that offer both natural and cultural interest. The area includes several notable landmarks such as the historic Torre Abbey gardens, the ancient cave system at Kents Cavern, and the more secluded Meadfoot Beach, known for its rocky surroundings and relatively calm setting. Not far from the hotel, the South West Coast Path kicks off with trails that wind along the cliffs, giving walkers wide open views of the sea and chances to stumble upon tucked away little beaches.

Torquay isn’t only about the beach. The town still has old theatres and impressive buildings from the Victorian era that are part of daily life today. Torquay Museum tells the town’s story, with one part dedicated to Agatha Christie, who grew up there and became a world-famous writer. Around the harbour, visitors will find small shops, cafés, and markets that reflect the town’s everyday character.

The planned opening of the hotel may increase interest in regional tourism and lead to additional private investment in the area. For visitors, the development adds a new accommodation option near major coastal landmarks. As travel habits shift toward shorter domestic trips, this type of project may support ongoing changes in how people explore the south west of England.
