A Heritage-Rich Foundation Meets Boutique Sophistication
Positioned atop the historic site of a 1912 motor house that once imported Cadillacs to New Zealand, Hotel Indigo Auckland artfully retains that original heritage-listed façade while introducing modern architectural forms. This blending of old and new anchors the aesthetic—a refined interplay of industrial grit and contemporary elegance.
Design That Marches to the Beat of Its Neighbourhood
Hotel Indigo's ethos is rooted in “neighbourhood storytelling”—each property uniquely reflects its locale. Here, Auckland’s motor heritage and transformation into a creative cultural hub serve as the narrative spine. Interiors reference the city’s past with industrial features like exposed brick, pegboard shelving, and metal-framed partitions, set against reimagined vintage elements.
A Collective Design That Tells a Story
Hotel Indigo Auckland isn't merely a place to stay—it’s an immersive narrative. Every layer—from heritage architecture to local art, from furniture design to lighting accents—delivers a sense of place, crafted with emotional resonance and unexpected beauty.
Industrial Chic Custom Pendants & Wall Lights
Inside each guest room, custom pendants and wall lights bring industrial character with a contemporary edge. Their exposed detailing and sculptural forms create striking focal points while offering functional task and accent lighting that enhances both comfort and atmosphere.
Brass Finish Wall Lights: Warmth & Sophistication
Adding a softer, more luxurious touch, brass-finish wall lights are positioned throughout the rooms to balance the industrial elements. Their golden glow creates warmth against raw materials, enriching the interiors and ensuring the spaces feel both inviting and elevated.
Architectural Downlights: Discreet Yet Functional
Architectural downlights have been utilised throughout for practical illumination. Discreet in appearance, these fittings provide balanced ambient light, ensuring flexibility for different moods—whether guests are relaxing, working, or entertaining. Their precision placement highlights textures and details within the room, reinforcing the design’s layered approach.
Forte 12V Wall Lights: Compact & Functional
To complete the lighting scheme, Forte 12V wall lights paired with Yosh Opal Glass are installed within the rooms as versatile accents. Compact yet effective, they provide targeted illumination where needed, contributing to the hotel’s cohesive and carefully considered lighting plan.
A Cohesive Lighting Experience
From industrial-inspired custom pendants to brass accents, discreet downlights, and versatile wall fittings, the lighting throughout Hotel Indigo Auckland’s rooms reflects a thoughtful balance of form and function. Each element contributes to an environment that is both modern and timeless, transforming the guest rooms into spaces that are comfortable, functional, and visually striking.
Hotel Indigo isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience where every detail, down to the lighting, has been designed to leave a lasting impression.
