IHG has signed a partnership with Ristia Group to bring Hotel Indigo to Bali’s cultural centre Ubud. It has an opening date scheduled for 2027.
The 130-room hotel will be located near Blangsinga Waterfall and Village, an area featuring a retail centre, crafts market, and proximity to a riverside temple.
This marks IHG’s second property announcement for Ubud, following Kimpton Bali Ubud.
It is also part of the company’s broader strategy to grow its luxury and lifestyle portfolio in South East Asia and Korea, which now totals 92 current and planned hotels.
IHG Hotels & Resorts South East Asia and Korea development senior director Chris Anklin 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.”
In Indonesia, IHG’s hotel network continues to expand with 33 operating hotels and another 12 in development.
Hotel Indigo Bali Ubud will join existing locations such as Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach and Hotel Indigo Bandung Dago Pakar.
The Hotel Indigo brand manages 183 properties across more than 25 countries, with 132 additional hotels planned.
Separately, IHG also reported the opening of Garner Hotel Kyoto Shijo Karasuma in Japan, after a major renovation.
With 103 rooms, this property joins three other Garner hotels in Osaka and is situated on a street in central Kyoto.
The hotel stands near city attractions such as Nishiki Market, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Gion, and Kawaramachi.
Guests have access to public transport with Gojo and Shijo Stations within walking distance.
Garner Hotel Kyoto Shijo Karasuma includes amenities such as a 24/7 around-the-clock shop for snacks and essentials, complimentary drinks in the lobby, and interiors influenced by local cultural landmarks.
Since its introduction in 2023, the Garner brand has grown to over 70 open properties worldwide and maintains a pipeline of 80 more in international locations including Europe, the US, and an upcoming launch in Thailand.
