�We are very pleased with the performance of the hotel to date,� said Hotel Indigo owner and operator Morris Moinian. �The Indigo opened amidst very challenging economic times, so this data is a testament to the quality of the hotel and professionalism of our staff.�

In its first 11 months of operation, the Indigo has outpaced the occupancy and rates of hotels such as the Roger Williams, Morgans, Hilton Garden Inn, Fashion 26 and the Strand. The Hotel Indigo also out performed the industry occupancy average by 6.2% in August and 10% in September, on the basis of revenues per available room (RevPAR).
