(TAN): IHG group’s Hotel Indigo is expanding its presence in Florida with the opening of Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina in Panama City’s historic waterfront district.
The five-story, 124-room Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina, owned by The St. Joe Company, is walkable to neighbourhood restaurants, bars and town fixtures such as the Martin Theatre and Panama City Center for the Arts.
Reminiscent of its seaside town, Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina flaunts a design scheme dyed in its history with installations inspired by the indigo plants that once covered the sandy shorelines. Nautical-inspired fixtures and a triptych depictive of steam ships once prevalent to the area at the turn of the 20th century evoke the feeling of being out at sea. The property also pays homage to Panama City’s original residents, including Harry Felix, who’s buoyant spirit and artistic influence helped shape the community of creatives that call Panama City home.
Built in a centerpiece location alongside the marina near the downtown area, Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina’s two new restaurant and bar concepts are poised to become neighbourhood gems that both guests and locals can enjoy together. Tarpons will serve a Southern twist on a coastal-inspired menu while Steam on 5 – the hotel’s open-air rooftop bar – will serve fresh local seafood, light bites, and thoughtful curated cocktails.
Additional hotel amenities include 1,033 square feet of event space with bay view windows and a 965 square-foot outdoor patio, a 24-hour fitness center, on-site marketplace, outdoor pool, and firepit overlooking the bay. Beyond the neighbourhood, guests will also be within short driving distance to many of the area’s biggest draws such as Panama City Beach, Florida State University’s Panama City campus, Gulf Coast State College, Naval Support Activity, the Port of Panama City and Tyndall Air Force Base.
Carol Hoeller, VP of Hotel Indigo, said: “The opening of Hotel Indigo Panama City Marina illustrates our brand’s commitment to doubling our portfolio globally over the next three to five years.”
