Hotel Indigo pays homage to the past as the Madison area hotel market continues to grow. (Wisconsin State Journal, 4/21/2019)
But Hotel Indigo, the latest addition to the rapidly developing area, is paying homage to the paint company and Madison’s past. The hallways of the five-story hotel, its common spaces and 144 guest rooms — 96 of which are in the former Mautz warehouse — are filled with historic reminders. There are framed photographs of paint rollers, displays of old paintbrushes, photos of the city’s biking culture and, in the main lobby, a quote about colors and shapes from Sun Prairie native Georgia O’Keeffe.
