Hotel Indigo opens Fox Theatre inspired restaurant, plans floor-by-floor renovations

Boutique hotel opens 683 Midtown Bar and Bistro, phase one of its scheduled renovations.

The Fabulous Fox Theatre is influencing one Atlanta hotel to tell the story of its Midtown neighborhood.

Hotel Indigo Atlanta Midtown, the first of 38 global boutique hotels from InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), is getting a Fox Theatre inspired makeover, according to Mary Dogan, director of brand management for the Hotel Indigo brand.

“The hotel will tell a story about the Fox Theatre that many Atlantans don’t know about,” Dogan said. “If the locals were to have built this hotel, this story is what they would have told.”

The hotel’s former restaurant, Phi Bar and its other common areas including the main lobby, have already undergone renovations. The new restaurant, which first opened Sept. 2, is called 683 Midtown Bar and Bistro and has a focus on “great cocktails” and “good food.”

Raise the Woof: Canine Cocktails at Hotel Indigo

No need to leave your best friend at home when you head out for happy hour. Beginning April 7 through June 2, you can bring your dog along to “Canine Cocktails” at Hotel Indigo every Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m.

“A lot of our neighbors would walk by with their dogs,” said Gabriele Webster, general manager. “They were hesitant to come in, but we’re extremely pet friendly!” Canine Cocktails launched in 2005 to help get the word out.

The popular event is back for its seventh season and will take place sooner rather than later. “We’ve decided it’s better in spring and fall when it’s a little cooler rather than in the summer heat,” Webster said. “We’re looking forward to starting. There’s a lot of interest from the community and hotel guests.”

Held on Hotel Indigo’s big patio facing Peachtree Street, Canine Cocktails offers a diverse assortment of tasty treats for humans and their furry friends.
