March 20 was a day that Simon Burgess will remember: It was the first night since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic here that all the rooms in the Hotel Indigo downtown were booked.
âThe restaurant has been doing really well,â he added. âIt is still tough, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.â
Burgess is managing director of Mayfair Street Partners, which renovated the old Pepper Building as the Hotel Indigo in 2018 and had big hotel plans for nearby Merschel Park. The restaurant in the hotel is the Sir Winston.
