Clues to the Neighbourhood is a collection of items and artefacts that have

been curated in partnership with historians, creative directors and artists,

which are brought to life through artfully presented installations integrated

into the hotel's design. The clues allow travellers to explore a

neighbourhood's off-the-beaten-path experiences, whether a local museum, great

view, music venue, local boutique or a place to eat and drink.

Mercury Prize-nominated singer and songwriter Laura Mvula and Berlin–based

digital creative and tastemaker Cloudy Zakrocki spent months working closely

with Hotel Indigo to curate Clues to the Neighbourhood. The curators selected a

series of items that tell a hyper local story or offer a unique perspective on

a well-trodden landmark. From an antique decanter to represent the award

winning Welcombe Hills vineyard in Stratford-Upon-Avon, to a toy dinosaur to

represent Spree Park Berlin, the clues they have chosen inspire guests to get

under the skin of the neighbourhood and discover its most surprising secrets.

Cloudy Zakrocki notes: "Have you ever done something that is so unique that

it's hard to explain to your friends? Well, trust me, my Clues to the

Neighbourhood for Berlin are most definitely something few people know about.

For example, one of my clues which can be found in Berlin's Schöneberg

district, reveals that you can climb the world's only open-air gasometer to an

altitude of almost 80 meters. It truly is a one of a kind: as you watch the

sunset whilst feeling free as a bird and having an eye-opening view of one of

the world's most loved cities."

Laura Mvula, who composed the music for Anthony and Cleopatra for the Royal

Shakespeare Company while in Stratford-upon-Avon, said: "My Clues to the

Neighbourhood aren't things that you'll find in the guide book – which is

exactly what I look for when I travel. My clues capture the pace of the town

and that real sense of calm and pensiveness, as well as some of its most unique

experiences. I love how the clues, which range from antique coins to

contemporary art prints help guests to discover Stratford-upon-Avon in a

multi-dimensional way."

Meredith Latham, Vice President, Global Hotel Indigo at IHG(R) commented: "It

is the neighbourhood that inspires the features of each Hotel Indigo. From the

design of the space to the flavours of our restaurant menus, we bring local

stories to our guests in a unique way. Our hotels provide a gateway to discover

some of the most vivid locations in the world. With this project, our guests

have a new way to unlock curiosity in the local area."
