    Permission has been granted to the St James’ Hotel Group to begin construction work on the new 117-room Hotel Indigo Bath.

    Operating under a franchise agreement in conjunction with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), the hotel will also feature a restaurant, bar and gym and is scheduled to open at the end of 2017. The boutique hotel is being formed from two existing hotels, Pratt’s Hotel and The Halcyon, and a former nightclub located in a number of Grade I listed Georgian buildings on South Parade in the heart of Bath.

    Anna Corkill, IHG’s Development Director for the UK, said: “We are thrilled with Hotel Indigo’s performance. We are confident that the Hotel Indigo Bath will become a brand-defining Hotel Indigo property for the South West region, reinforcing our presence in the UK boutique market.

    “It’s a perfect site and we’re looking forward to working with St James’s Hotel Group to welcome even more visitors to Bath in 2017 and beyond.”

    The hotel is being designed by Architect CT with construction by Phelan Construction Ltd. Its design will reflect the surrounding neighbourhood, while the restaurant and bar will tap into Indigo’s new locally crafted food and beverage philosophy, launched last year. Pratt’s Hotel was a part of a portfolio of Forestdale hotels acquired by St James’s Hotel Group in 2014.

    The Halcyon was previously privately owned and acquired by St James’s Hotel Group last year.
