The Retreat Spa at Hotel Indigo

Like to crunch before brunch? Get your fit kit on because the Hotel Indigo Exeter has a luxury gym for you to work out in. Hop on the treadmill, bike, cross-trainer or rower, or hit the weights. There’s fixed machines and free weights, plus kettlebells, exercise balls, medicine balls and resistance bands.

If the gym’s not your scene, you can always get active in the fresh air. Hire bikes or canoes at the historic Quayside, test your head for heights at Clip ‘n’ Climb on Haven Banks or try the Go Ape course at nearby Haldon Forest.

Or stay closer to the ground with a walk. Exeter’s fascinating (and easy) to explore on-foot. The city has free guided walking tours daily throughout the year. Just turn up and meet your Red Coat Guide at the starting point.

Fancy some fine dining after all that fine unwinding? We hear you. De-robe, glam up and head to Hotel Indigo Exeter’s indulgent bars and restaurants for a cocktail and a delicious meal in some seriously sumptuous surroundings.

Colson’s Restaurant

Featuring beautiful ingredients cooked over charcoal and flame, Colson’s only use ethical, sustainable producers from as local an area as possible. Menu highlights include Lyme Bay caught fish of the day, slow braised celeriac risotto and Dartmoor beef.

The Dugout Bar

If you're after something a little more casual, The Dugout is the sports bar located beneath the hotel, serving drinks and bar snacks. Kick back and watch the biggest sporting events from around the globe on the massive ultra-HD screening wall. 

Beckett’s Rooftop Bar

Glass of fizz with some stunning cathedral views? Don’t mind if we do! Take it outside at the buzzy Becketts Rooftop Bar. Strictly over 18s only, this grown-up bar is Exeter’s most exclusive skyline destination - sampling the hand-crafted cocktails are a must!

While there’s no swimming pool, you’ll still be relaxing in blissfully warm water! The Retreat Spa boasts two spacious hydro pools, along with a steam room, sauna and waterfall shower.

It sure does, so it’s perfect if you wanted to make a night of it. The hotel’s 104 rooms are stylishly decorated in muted blues and greens, with quirky art, chic wallpaper and patterned tiles. All rooms have Hypnos beds, Egyptian cotton linen, spa-inspired bathrooms and Nespresso coffee machines. Some rooms boast fabulous views of the cathedral and free-standing baths. 

Check in is from 3pm and check out at 11am, with early check-in or late check-out, subject to availability. For spa packages, arrival times vary, so check your booking confirmation.

Yes it is, with a fully accessible entrance, accessible toilets and five accessible bedrooms. Please be aware that the hotel is in a pedestrianised area. The nearest taxi drop off point is Exeter Lower Library car park, a three-minute walk away.

Hotel Indigo Exeter is right in the heart of the city centre, so you can take your pick of attractions just steps away from the hotel’s front door.

With history, culture and fabulous shopping, Exeter’s a popular city break location with something for everyone. Beyond the high street, it’s a half-minute walk to the cathedral and a two-minute stroll to Gandy Street with its eclectic independent shops. Stroll down to the historic (and picturesque) Quayside, or don a hard hat and take a mooch around Exeter’s underground passages - fascinating tunnels that used to house the pipes that brought clean drinking water into medieval Exeter.

While the Retreat Spa and Beckett’s Rooftop Bar is for over 18s only, the Hotel Indigo Exeter is family-friendly with cots and extra beds for little ones.

Sorry Hotel Indigo Exeter is not pet-friendly. Only service dogs are allowed.

No, there’s no golf course on-site at this heart-of-Exeter hotel. But if you can’t live without your clubs, swing by Exeter Golf and Country Club for year-round golf on a picturesque parkland course.
