PARIS, FR. July 28, 2016 - InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world's leading hotel companies, has announced plans to open the first Kimpton® hotel in the home of European fashion and design - Paris. Situated in one of the city's most sought-after districts, near the famous Paris Opera, the luxury hotel is set to open its doors in 2020.
The building will be fully transformed with Kimpton's signature bold and playful design to feature 149 guestrooms inlcuding 27 suites, luxury spa and fitness facilities, and a state-of-the-art meeting space overlooking the high-end Parisian streets, buildings and rooftops.
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. Kimpton's award-winning destination restaurants and bars are loved locally, and provide guests with an authentic taste of the city.
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.”
