Welcome to the neighbourhood: IHG signs Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud

 IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hospitality companies, continues its Luxury & Lifestyle growth across Indonesia by announcing the signing of Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud in partnership with Ristia Group.

Scheduled to open in 2027, the 130-key hotel will introduce Hotel Indigo, part of IHG’s luxury and lifestyle collection, to Bali’s cultural heart. This latest signing marks the company’s second property in Ubud, following the recent announcement of Kimpton Bali Ubud. It underscores IHG’s commitment to expanding its luxury & lifestyle estate across South East Asia and Korea which has reached a combined 92 open and pipeline hotels.

Chris Anklin, Senior Director, Development, South East Asia and Korea, IHG Hotels & Resorts said: “Indonesia is one of IHG’s most important growth markets, and we are delighted to expand our portfolio here with the signing of Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud. We look forward to welcoming domestic and international guests through its doors from 2027 and for the hotel to become a treasured part of the community in which we’ll operate.

“Our growth in Indonesia is an exciting one — with 33 open hotels and 12 in the pipeline. Our brands are giving travellers more options across the country, reflecting the strength of our partnerships and the rising demand for authentic stay experiences.”

Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud will be situated on the edge of the Blangsinga Waterfall and Village, home to a crafts market, retail centre and glass-bottom bridge. Adjacent to an ancient riverside temple and surrounded by a lush hillside that cascades down to a river, the hotel will deliver a distinctive sense of place, connecting guests to Ubud’s heritage, nature, and thriving creative community.

Michella Ristiadewi, Commissioner, Ristia Group, added: “We are proud to partner with IHG on this landmark project in Ubud. Hotel Indigo is the ideal brand to showcase the unique story of this neighbourhood – from its waterfalls and temples to its artistic and cultural heritage. Together, we aim to create a destination that not only appeals to international visitors but also offers domestic travellers an inspiring way to experience the best of Ubud.”

As visitors increasingly look beyond Bali’s traditional beach destinations, Ubud has emerged as a hotspot for culture, wellness, and nature-rich escapes. With thoughtfully designed abodes and curated experiences, Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud will bring to life the neighbourhood’s soul tailored for solo travellers, families, and groups. These include dedicated neighbourhood guides, immersive social experiences, and culinary programmes that ensure every visitor enjoys a stay that’s deeply rooted in its locality.

Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud will add to a growing brand portfolio across the country that includes Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach, Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar and Hotel Indigo Bintan Lagoi Beach. Globally, Hotel Indigo continues to resonate with owners and travellers seeking a unique neighbourhood stay experience, with its portfolio growing to 183 hotels in more than 25 countries, with 132 pipeline properties.

Indonesia continues to be a key market for IHG, where it has expanded its estate to 33 open hotels and a pipeline of 12 hotels. Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud will add to the company’s growing Luxury & Lifestyle presence by joining 10 other fantastic properties including the award-winning Regent Bali Canggu and Six Senses Uluwatu.
