*~*Another beautiful day in the valley, trying to avoid the triple digits that are bound to come…they say this weekend. Enjoy the “cooler” evenings on the Divine Lounge Terrace under the stars. Tonight is two-for-one Tuesdays! Our environment will encourage you and bring you a sense of balance! *~*

Hotel Indigo Scottsdale is known for affordable luxury located in the heart of the trendy nightlife district. The boutique hotel is unlike many others, for it has a story behind its design. It is all based off of math, the Fibonacci sequence or Phi to be more exact.

“An environment that doesn’t just shelter you, but inspires and reenergizes you.”

The idea behind Hotel Indigo can be better explained at, http://www.hotelindigo.com/h/d/in/1/en/c/2/content/dec/in/1/en/aboutindigo.html?cm_sp=in_hm_-hdr-_-about_in&a=b
