Why We're Here
At Hotel Indigo® we serve the curious - people who are inspired by new places, new people and new ideas. With hotels in culturally diverse locations all over the world, no two properties are the same. Each is part of the pulse and the rhythm of a place, drawing on the story of its local area to inspire every aspect of the hotel, from intriguing design to distinctive local ingredients in our menus. We're a global family of properties, bound together by a common desire to give our guests not merely a room, but a place.
How We're Different
Hotel Indigo, Grand Cayman is an upper upscale lifestyle hotel opened in the Spring of 2024, offering 282 guest rooms with views across the Caribbean Sea, multiple restaurants, an expansive pool deck and rooftop bar, for a uniquely local experience that brings into harmony the novel and the known, awakening the curiosity to join in, venture out, and encounter the meaningful connections that lead to life's true riches.
Just as no two neighborhoods are alike, no two Hotel Indigo hotels are alike, and no two Team Members are alike. We are looking for bright, confident, and free-spirited people to join our team!
