IHG® Hotels & Resorts, a prominent global hotel company with 6000 hotels spanning 18 brands, has entered into a franchise agreement to establish a Hotel Indigo property in Oxagon, a coastal industrial city situated in NEOM
The planned 250-key Hotel Indigo property will be strategically located within Oxagon’s premier residential community and is scheduled to welcome guests in 2026. Oxagon envisions thriving communities coexisting with clean industry, commercial establishments, hospitality venues, entertainment centres, and retail activities.
As part of IHG’s lifestyle brand portfolio, Hotel Indigo properties offer immersive experiences in some of the world’s most inspiring locations. Each Hotel Indigo establishment embraces its surroundings, reflecting the unique attributes of the area to shape the guest experience. This bespoke approach influences every aspect, from the boutique design concept to locally-inspired dining options. Similarly, the Hotel Indigo property in Oxagon will serve as a lifestyle destination, featuring exciting retail and dining concepts, including inviting cafés, a pool lounge, and a speciality restaurant. Residents and visitors alike will also enjoy access to an array of leisure and wellness amenities, such as a spa and a 24-hour fitness centre.
Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa, IHG, said: “We are delighted to announce our first IHG hotel in the exciting and rapidly developing region of NEOM. Hotel Indigo is dedicated to embracing the unique essence of each local destination, ensuring that our hotels truly embody the spirit of their locations. We are excited to announce the upcoming opening of this new property in Oxagon, where an innovative blueprint for industry and remarkable livability is being crafted.
This extraordinary establishment is set to welcome guests in 2026. In addition, our lifestyle brand, Hotel Indigo, has seen great success in the Kingdom with several signings in the past months. As our presence in the market continues to grow, we are committed to supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 by offering exceptional hospitality experiences to leisure and business travellers visiting the country.”
At present, IHG operates 37 hotels under five renowned brands in Saudi Arabia, namely InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Staybridge Suites, and Voco, while an impressive pipeline of 31 hotels is slated to open within the next three to five years. Just last month, IHG inked a management agreement to introduce a Hotel Indigo property in Mohammed Bin Salman Non-profit City, scheduled to welcome guests in 2025.
