Overview
Kimpton, which pioneered the boutique hotel category in the U.S., has been innovating in hospitality since it was founded by Bill Kimpton in 1981. Today, the San Francisco-born luxury lifestyle brand owns its boutique roots while continuing its pioneering spirit, operating more than 75 properties and over 100 restaurants, bars and lounges across urban locations, resort destinations and up-and-coming markets globally. Kimpton continues to expand into new markets across the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Greater China while introducing new brand offerings.
Kimpton has always been more than a collection of hotels – it is a global network of design-led properties that act as vibrant hubs for sparking authentic human connections in the communities they serve. As creators and hosts of inventive, personal experiences, Kimpton colleagues deliver warm and refreshingly unscripted moments.
On December 16, 2014, IHG announced that it would acquire Kimpton for $430 million in cash. IHG retained the Kimpton brand name within the U.S. and continues its expansion globally. Recent openings include Kimpton Mas Olas Resort & Spa in Mexico, Kimpton Claret Hotel in Denver and Kimpton BEM Budapest in Hungary, which joined IHG’s Low Carbon Pioneers program, creating a community of energy efficient hotels that have no fossil fuels combusted on-site and are backed by renewable energy. Upcoming destinations include Frankfurt, Portugal’s Algarve, Malaysia and the Middle East. Additionally, Kimpton Tres Rios Riviera Maya, the brand’s first all-inclusive resort, is slated to debut in 2025.
