Hip Hotel with Lakeside Pool Opens Today in North Houston

Hip Hotel with Lakeside Pool Opens Today in North Houston

BOUTIQUE-STYLE HOTEL Indigo opens today just north of Spring, near The Woodlands. The IHG property is a part of a chain, but tailored to the individual community with bespoke design elements.

Each of the 103 guest rooms, including four suites, boasts individually unique art and a palate of earth tones with splashes of color. The building itself homages a Spanish Mission design, inspired by the Catholic missionaries who settled in the area. Installations in common spaces provide a handful of Instagrammable moments, as does the lakeside pool with an al fresco bar.

Inside, the hotel's restaurant, Crudo, offers its own stylish bar, flecked in gold to reflect the region's abundance of black gold. Food and beverage offerings include local specialties like 8th Wonder beer, Katz coffee and Alex Bregman's salsa, Breggy Bomb.

"With our unique design and thoughtful touches taking cues from the local history, architecture, colors and culinary scene, we are able to provide guests a window to the neighborhood through our hotel before exploring it for themselves," said hotel GM Brandon Kitchen in a statement.

Leadership in Action: CEO Theresa Roemer Credits Mother, Mentors and Mindset for Accomplishments

Leadership in Action: CEO Theresa Roemer Credits Mother, Mentors and Mindset for Accomplishments

How did you get to where you are today? My journey to where I am today is built on a foundation of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Every step along the way, I faced obstacles, but I approached each one with determination and a “never give up” mindset. Instead of being discouraged by challenges, I used them as opportunities to grow and improve. Consistency was key—I committed to showing up and giving my best effort every day. I also learned not to take “no” as a final answer. Instead, I saw it as a chance to push harder, adapt, and find another way forward. It’s this combination of persistence, resilience, and unwavering focus that has brought me to where I am today.

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

Al Torres

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.

How did you get to where you are today? A few key principles integrated into my life: setting clear goals, maintaining a growth mindset, building strong habits, and surrounding myself with the right people.
