The details
The hotel is a conversion of Kingston Bridge House, a vacant former university accommodation building, into a mixed-use site with the hotel plus 22 residences. The owner is Westcombe Group through its Acre Hotels Collection, a new IHG partner. The release highlights river views and locally inspired design, art, and food and drink, and does not list specific facilities. (checked Oct 27, 2026)
Why points travelers care
The location is about 20 minutes by train to London Waterloo and about 30 minutes by car to Heathrow, and close to Hampton Court Palace, Kew Gardens and Richmond Park. That makes it a possible quieter base outside central London for IHG One Rewards members. Award pricing has not been announced. (checked Oct 27, 2026)
As of Oct 27, 2026, Hotel Indigo has 201 open hotels globally and 134 in the pipeline, including 55 open and 23 in the pipeline across Europe. This is a signing, so dates can shift; confirm on the IHG page below.
