Hotel Indigo Dundee: A Choice Hotel for Visiting the UK?s First UNESCO City of Design
We have a feeling that the city of Dundee in Scotland will see a rise in travelers with an affinity for design, art and culture.
While London is a popular destination when traveling to the United Kingdom, we have a feeling that the city of Dundee in Scotland will see a rise in travelers with an affinity for design, art and culture now that Dundee has been designated as the UK?s first UNESCO City of Design and the V&A Dundee, Scotland?s first design museum, has opened. If we were headed to the newly appointed design destination, the recently opened Hotel Indigo® Dundee would be our accommodation of choice.
The building was transformed from a two-hundred-year-old jute mill into a 102-room modern hotel that sits right between the waterfront and the heart of the shopping district.

There’s the Dundee Cake room (filled with subtle marmalade motifs and curtains made of jute, a nod to the hotel’s former glory), the Comic room (inspired by DC Thompson?s famous comic called ?Black Dog? about a sheepdog), and the Gaming Room (since Dundee is the birth place of Grand Theft Auto and a thriving hub for the computer game industry).
The vaulted brick ceilings are all original from the building’s jute mill days. The blankets are desi...
