IHG brings Kimpton to a score of new global destinations

Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) will be opening more than 25 new Kimpton hotels across 20 new destinations, including Mexico City, Paris, Barcelona, Bali and Shanghai, over the next three to five years.

Among the 2019 openings are properties in Taipei and Edinburgh. The Kimpton Da An Hotel is scheduled to open in Taipei this spring and the design is a mix of modern and traditional. A special feature will be The Tavernist, a restaurant led by former Noma chef, James Sharman.

In Edinburgh, the Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel will also be opening in spring, consisting of seven interconnected Georgian-style townhouses overlooking a private garden square in a central location.

In early 2020. the Kimpton Kawana bay Resort in Grenada is expected to open. It is the second Kimpton property in the Caribbean. It will be a 220-room hillside retreat located between tropical rainforest cliffs and Grand Anse Beach. All rooms will have ocean views. The name of the resort is a homage to the area?s native leatherback turtles, known locally as ?kawana?.

Another 2020 opening is the Kimpton Balu, located on the Nusa Dua coastline amid volcanic hillsides. It is being marketed as a lifestyle sanctuary which embraces Balinese culture and the accommodation will be luxury villas.
