IHG is set to bring its Kimpton brand to Napa Valley, Calif., a destination that attracts more than 4 million visitors each year. The brand currently has 10 properties open across the state.
When it opens in 2028, the Kimpton Napa hotel will have 123 guestrooms across two four-story buildings. Public spaces will include a rooftop bar, a central courtyard, garden patio, outdoor spa and contrast therapy studios.
“For more than four decades, Kimpton has wowed guests and enticed owners by offering a bold take on luxury hospitality while also serving as a source of inspiration around the world,” Leanne Harwood, SVP and managing director of luxury & lifestyle Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement. “As an iconic travel destination with a culturally rich history, Napa Valley is a perfect next location for Kimpton. Alongside Stratus Development Partners, we will bring something truly special to the region and extend Kimpton’s exceptional growth.”
Stratus Development Partners, a full-service real estate firm based in Newport Beach, Calif., will oversee the project as owners and add its first IHG hotel to a portfolio that currently includes six open and pipeline Americas properties.
“Napa Valley embodies the ‘laid back luxury’ lifestyle synonymous with the Kimpton brand, and the hotel undoubtedly will serve as an iconic, welcoming and vibrant social hub that embraces guests and the local community,” said Andrew Wood, principal, Stratus Development Partners. “We look forward to working with IHG to bring this exceptional property to market.”
The Kimpton brand has nearly 150 hotels open and in the pipeline worldwide as of June 30.
