Two-pipe systems make it impossible to simultaneously heat and cool a space, requiring seasonal, building-wide switches between modes to keep guests comfortable. One major improvement Century made to the hotel’s capacity for guests’ comfort was converting the existing two-pipe fan coil unit (FCU) system to a four-pipe system. Many of the existing utilities were reused, but several systems – including the main switchboard and much of the piping – were upgraded to modern, fully-compliant systems that better serve guests. The subbasement level continues to house the hotel’s main utilities, which were strategically reused and replaced when necessary. Guests on floors three through eight enjoy the carefully-preserved original courtyard from their overlooking windows. The impressive two-story lobby and reception area on the building’s first floor was thoughtfully expanded by removing part of the second-floor slab, avoiding further demolition and construction.
What puts the Hotel Indigo in a class of its own are not only its state-of-the-art upgrades and guest amenities, but also how those features perfectly complement the existing historic structure. Special touches, such as a fireplace in the lobby, library and two-story fitness room in a reconfigured office space, make the guest experience extra special. In addition to suite- and loft-style guestrooms, the hotel features a full-service conference center level and a high-end restaurant and bar that serves gourmet meals from a completely upgraded kitchen. Despite its historic charm and celebrations of Baltimore’s storied past woven throughout, guests of the Hotel Indigo would be hard-pressed to find a modern amenity missing from their stay.
