Opened in June 2025, the Hotel Indigo London Clerkenwell emerges as a distinguished addition to IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury lifestyle portfolio, perfectly situated at 2 Clerkenwell Road, a mere five-minute walk from Farringdon Station. This new boutique hotel masterfully intertwines opulent accommodations with the rich tapestry of Clerkenwell’s historic tradition of craftsmanship, paying homage to its legacy of clockmakers, goldsmiths, and visionary architects, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the creative pulse of this vibrant London neighborhood.
The hotel boasts 143 meticulously designed guest rooms, each a testament to harmonizing sleek modern comforts with the resonant echoes of the past, offering a curated retreat. These spaces are strategically designed to place visitors at the heart of London’s remarkable skyline, celebrated restaurants, and leading cultural venues, all conveniently within walking distance, making it an ideal choice for a luxurious stay in London.
Embodying the spirit of its surroundings, every Hotel Indigo property narrates the story of its neighborhood, and Clerkenwell speaks in vivid detail through its interiors. The design ethos is deeply influenced by the district’s renowned ‘maker spirit,’ with rooms envisioned as airy architect’s studios, complete with functional desks doubling as cutting mats and striking headboards evoking large blueprint tubes, creating a stylish and purposeful environment for the contemporary explorer seeking authentic Clerkenwell experiences.
A profound homage to the area’s celebrated clockmaking past is subtly woven into every detail of the hotel. Guest rooms are numbered akin to clock faces, with the hands set to correspond with the door number, a unique touch that underscores the hotel’s commitment to local heritage. Antique furniture, carefully selected local artwork, and custom-made pieces collectively weave a fabric of craftsmanship, narrating the enduring story of Clerkenwell’s skilled artisans.
For an authentic sense of place, the Hotel Indigo London Clerkenwell’s shared spaces welcome guests with simple lines, warm fabrics, and abundant natural light. The grand yet inviting lobby features murals of the local landscape alongside architectural details that subtly nod to Clerkenwell’s long and illustrious history, enhancing the cultural immersion experience for every visitor.
Diners at the hotel can explore a lively array of venues that spotlight Clerkenwell’s rich and diverse food scene. Wilderness Kitchen, the all-day restaurant, offers bright, Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a strong vegetarian focus, meticulously prepared from the finest seasonal British produce. Its menu honors the area’s Italian roots and its proximity to Smithfield Market, ensuring ingredients travel a minimal distance from farm to plate, promising a true taste of local London dining.
For those preferring a classic British ambiance, The Hat and Feathers, a Grade II-listed Victorian pub, provides an authentic experience with its exposed brick, low beams, and a timeworn bar. This establishment perfectly pairs classic British comfort food with an extensive selection of local and international ales. The dedicated “Dickens Corner” serves as a charming tribute to the nearby author, who famously frequented these very streets, adding a literary layer to your British pub experience in London.
Whether for business or leisure, Hotel Indigo London Clerkenwell provides exceptional facilities. Overlooking The Hat and Feathers, two meticulously appointed meeting rooms, bathed in natural light and adorned with careful period details, set the stage for diverse events, from intimate board meetings to private dinners. Each room comfortably seats up to 60 guests, offering an intimate yet professional setting for small gatherings or decisive business events in a luxury London hotel.
