ai3 drew inspiration from the area’s industrial past, natural beauty and thriving artistic community.

In the 1800’s, Tallahassee’s mid-way location between Pensacola and St. Augustine, and the development of a tanning yard, planing mill and ice company, attracted the Georgia Railroad, forever changing the city’s landscape. ai3 paid homage to Tallahassee’s industrial roots by incorporating elements like galvanized and corrugated metal, brick and steel into the Hotel Indigo design.

The hotel stands at the heart of Tallahassee's Arts & Culture District, exemplified by Railroad Square Art Park. Located on a site that was once a saw mill, Art Park is now home to dozens of studios, galleries and unique shops. ai3 designed a hotel experience that connects to the pulse and rhythm of this creative hub, where potters, sculptors, painters, wood-workers, and filmmakers are all part of the art scene.
