Daily

Kimpton Hotels, an InterContinental Hotels Group brand, recently revealed its European expansion plans, which will feature a new property in Amsterdam. Currently, the property is operating as the Crowne Plaza Amsterdam City Centre, but will undergo complete renovations of all common spaces and guestrooms before opening as a Kimpton Hotel in 2017. The new design will feature 270 guestrooms, a bar, restaurant, gym and meeting spaces.

“IHG’s ability to take Kimpton to new markets and geographies was a key part of the transaction and we’re delighted to announce this important milestone for the brand. It is a testament to the global appeal of the Kimpton brand and to the strength of IHG’s global scale and relationships with owners across the world,” said Richard Solomons, chief executive, IHG.

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants was acquired by IHG in early 2015 and the new Amsterdam property will incorporate all of the most well-loved Kimpton touches, including yoga mats in each guestroom, complimentary morning beverages, complimentary bike rentals and more.

Currently, Kimpton has 59 properties in the United States.
