In an interview, Hartman said downtown Tulsa is attractive because of “the walkability factor,” and that the success of the Fairfield Inn gave the group a window into the need for more hotels downtown.

The hotel will feature a 1,500-square-foot meeting room, an upscale restaurant and bar with a private dining area and a state-of-the-art fitness studio. Guest rooms will have balconies that look out on ONEOK Field or on the Tulsa skyline. Patrons will have access to Santa Fe Square’s 1,100-space parking garage.

The Hotel Indigo brand bills itself as being unique to each city that it’s in, according to its website. It’s a high-end brand and most of its dozens of locations in the U.S. are in large cities or their wealthy suburbs.

“Understanding the downtown market, we wanted to offer a product that is unique to Tulsa and integrated into the district,” Hartman said.

“With Hotel Indigo, no two properties are the same and each one draws on the story of the local area to inspire every aspect of the hotel from intriguing design to distinctive local ingredients.”

Hartman said in an interview with the World that the interior decor is still being decided. The brand uses an outside consultant, he explained, to make each hotel tell the story of the neighborhood it’s in.
