Kimpton has signed the Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas in Paradise Valley, AZ. The resort will become the first branded IHG luxury and lifestyle property in the Paradise Valley/Scottsdale market upon its planned early 2026 opening and will take shape through a reimagination of an existing 42-acre retreat.
The resort is set against the backdrop of the Camelback and Mummy Mountains, and a short distance from the Old Town Scottsdale retail and entertainment district. Its design, inspired by the surrounding desert landscape and natural beauty, can be found throughout the public spaces and more than 400 guestrooms, suites and villas. It will also welcome gatherings within its 50,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor event and meeting spaces.
The resort will feature a host of dedicated areas and amenities that promote personal reconnection and spark a renewed sense of wonder, according to the company. Its fitness center and access to nearby hiking trails will appeal to active travelers, with ample relaxation opportunities likewise available among its six onsite swimming pools, salon and day spa.
“Kimpton’s rich legacy and unique approach to luxury lifestyle are a natural fit for suburban Phoenix, which remains one of the fastest growing U.S. metropolitan areas and a haven for both business meetings and travelers seeking connection with the beautiful surroundings,” said Leanne Harwood, SVP, managing director, luxury, lifestyle & managed hotels, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Through its contemporary design, breathtaking views and what will become exemplary culinary destinations, Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas will bring forth the best of what our luxury and lifestyle brands and dedicated segment leadership team have to offer.”
The new Kimpton resort will operate under the joint ownership of private investment firms Partners Group and Trinity Investments, and marks the first IHG-branded property within each group’s extensive luxury and resort portfolios. Highgate will manage the hotel.
