Hotel Indigo

An Historic Hotel Reborn

Located in a building that sat vacant and derelict for more than 10 years, Hotel Indigo is a nod to the history of downtown Omaha and the notorious characters that inhabited it a century ago. Historic architectural details mix playfully with modern amenities to create a space that is not only unique and referential, but modern and comfortable. 90 guest rooms have been designed to evoke some of that Old World charm one might have found in a Prohibition Era speakeasy, while not forgetting the needs of contemporary guests. Another complicated renovation executed with style by our capable design team.

In 1922 the building was an apartment hotel, with long-term tenements in one and two room suites. Originally the main entry facing Dodge Street was on the 2nd level, until the street was lowered as part of a major civic project exposing the current 1st floor of the building, which had been designed to accommodate the grade change.

Over the years the building hosted many events and businesses. Above are two photos, taken in 1938, or a banquet taking place within the hotel and a bar that was once housed in one of the building’s commercial tenants spaces.
