Natural Beauty Resonates at Hotel Indigo San Diego

by Michelle Guerin - 07/28/2009

Ears ring with the soothing sound of cascading water from a soft fountain wall that rests on rocks inside Hotel Indigo. Carpet swirls of seafoam green and blue create an oceanic atmosphere below, while dangling glass globes of light shimmer like the stars above. From the white reef tables to inviting seashell chaises and the aquamarine palette, walking through the lobby guests feel afloat in a gentle wave washing against the San Diego coastline...

New Side Bar Reignites Gaslamp Glow

by Ryan Eisenacher - 05/19/2009

A mismatched array of velvet burgundy couches set beneath black sheathed crystal chandeliers and a cluster of thirty maroon birdcages dangling from the lofted ceiling are far from the once audacious lime green aura of the former Side Bar. But do not let this prominent facelift deter you – the façade is modified, but the quintessence of Side Bar still holds true to its original conception...
