Who are we

The neighbourhood of adaptation, inspiration and contemplation perched on the River exe, the historic centre of Exeter was once described as the Jewel of the West. In the heart of the City Centre, Hotel Indigo Exeter has been lovingly restored and converted from its department store origins. The hotel was once the home of Colson's, a department store which opened in 1792 by local miller Mrs Colson. The hotel staying true to its roots now boasts 104 stylish bedrooms designed to honour elements of its historic past.
