Kimpton, part of IHG’s fast-growing luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has revealed its upcoming entry into Napa Valley, CA, a West coast travel destination that attracts more than four million annual visitors among its wineries and scenic landscapes. Projected to open in 2028, the hotel will build upon the brand’s California origins and extend a “Golden State” reach that currently includes 10 open Kimpton properties.
Set to feature architecture and décor echoing its picturesque surroundings, Kimpton Napa will sit along both First Street and the Napa River and between Main Street and the Oxbow Public Market.
Featuring 123 guestrooms and occupying two four-story buildings, Kimpton Napa will introduce the brand’s signature hallmarks to the market. As with all Kimptons, guests can enjoy perks such as Kimpton Kickstart morning coffee and tea service, evening refreshments at Kimpton Social, and the brand’s “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” amenity program. For those traveling with pets, the hotel will welcome all breeds and sizes at no extra charge.
“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,” said Leanne Harwood, SVP/managing director, Luxury & Lifestyle Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “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 hotel as owners and add its first IHG hotel to a broad 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.”
