IHG unveils plans for Paris Kimpton
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced plans to open the first Kimpton hotel in Paris. Situated in one of the city’s most sought-after districts, near the famous Paris Opéra, the luxury property is set to open its doors in 2020.
The hotel will be fully transformed with Kimpton’s signature bold and playful design to feature 149 guestrooms and 27 suites, luxury spa and fitness facilities, and a state-of-the-art meeting space overlooking the high-end Parisian streets, buildings and rooftops.
The San Francisco-based Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, acquired by IHG in January 2015, is renowned for its innovative design and personal approach to guest service, using thoughtful perks and amenities and a sense of delight to make guests feel truly at home. It inspires with touches like yoga mats in every room, complimentary coffee and tea to start the day, a hosted evening Wine Hour, in-room fitness options and complimentary bikes to explore the local area.
Angela Brav, IHG’s Chief Executive Officer, Europe says: “Bringing Kimpton to Paris marks another milestone for expansion of the brand into Europe, and we’re delighted to be working with AXA IM – Real Assets to bring Kimpton to France. This hotel will have one of the most coveted addresses in the city and is set to create unbelievable memories and experiences for guests – in the way that only Kimpton can.”
There are currently 62 managed Kimpton hotels in the US with a further 18 in the pipeline (NYC Kimpton Eventi pictured.) Kimpton also operates 76 destination restaurants and bars. The Kimpton Paris is the second Kimpton hotel to be signed in Europe, following the announcement that the brand was going global with the signing of a hotel in Amsterdam.
