Perched on the River Exe, in the historic centre of Exeter sits our newly developed boutique Hotel Indigo Exeter. Once described as the Jewel Of the West, Exeter is a place that inspires deep devotion, its culture, architecture and outlook drawing in the curious and rewarding them with a place to call home, whether for a weekend or a lifetime.

Today, Exeter's motto, semper fidelis - ‘always loyal' - is an apt description of how people feel about our neighbourhood. Our hotel is already steeped in local history, it's offerings - and its name - have changed to serve each new era's needs. What started off as a department store called Colson's became Dingles, became House Of Fraser, became the Hotel Indigo Exeter.

Alongside 104 beautifully designed bedrooms we also offer 3 unique Food & Beverage offerings: Colson's Seafood Bar and Grill provides a unique take on contemporary British cuisine. The Dugout is our upscale Sports Bar - the place to kick back and watch the biggest sporting events from around the globe and finally Becketts our skyline Champagne and Cocktail Bar with breath-taking views across cathedral green in the heart of Exeter, the experience at Becketts is unparalleled to anything the city has to offer. If that wasn't enough, we also feature a stunning urban Spa called The Retreat - so there really is something for everyone.

This could be your opportunity to work somewhere completely unique, somewhere where you can be yourself, talk about the stories of our wonderful neighbourhood and put your stamp on the ever-evolving brand that is Hotel Indigo.
