Hotel Indigo Dundee
The Hotel Indigo Dundee: a great example of part of Dundee’s industrial heritage that was saved. Dundee has lost many buildings over the years this is one of the success stories where a 19th century Category A listed mill was given a new lease of life as a hotel.
It’s actually a trick question.
