IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's leading hotel companies, has announced the signing of a franchise agreement for a new-build boutique hotel, Hotel Indigo Abha, in partnership with Firdous Abha Hotel Holding Company and under the management of Aleph Hospitality. The strategic signing underscores IHG's commitment to expanding its Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio of hotels and elevating hospitality offering for the growing tourism sector in the Kingdom.

Part of the IHG Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, Hotel Indigo is the world's neighbourhood hotel that celebrates how guests can discover, or rediscover, some of the most inspiring and culturally rich neighbourhoods across the world. When staying at a Hotel Indigo, it is not just to visit a place, it is about being fully immersed into the neighbourhood and wanting to take a little bit of it home. With 278 open or pipeline hotels globally, each hotel draws on the local neighbourhood, culture and popular trends in food, drink and design to create a warm and vibrant atmosphere.

Scheduled to open its doors in December 2025, Hotel Indigo Abha will feature 110 rooms, providing guests with a unique and distinctive experience in the heart of the Arabian Highland. Along with taking inspiration from its neighborhood across the guest journey, the hotel will feature a range of amenities, including a restaurant, coffee lounge, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) facilities, and a fitness room, providing a blend of comfort and authenticity in a culturally rich and naturally stunning destination.

Abha is recognised as a premier summer destination for both domestic and international travelers in the Kingdom and is a key city within the KSA 2030 Vision. It currently features a diverse array of unbranded or locally branded hotels. The introduction of Hotel Indigo in Abha represents IHG's commitment to delivering its tailored hospitality experience, promising unparalleled level of excellence and world-class stay for travelers thereby setting a new standard for hospitality. Located on the main road linking Khamis Meshit City and Abha Airport, Hotel Indigo Abha ensures unparalleled accessibility and convenience for tourists.
