Kimpton, a part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle collection, has unveiled plans for a new development in Texas Hill Country, US.
The brand is partnering with Houston-based DC Partners to establish the property, marking its fourth location in Texas.
Kimpton Fredericksburg is scheduled to open in 2027 and will be the centrepiece of The Meuse, a 22-acre mixed-use development.
IHG Hotels & Resorts Americas luxury and lifestyle senior vice president and managing director Leanne Harwood said: “We are excited to continue growing our luxury and lifestyle presence within Texas, and Kimpton Fredericksburg will complement our distinct properties and the memorable experiences guests can discover across the state.
“The Texas Hill Country is celebrated for its warm, welcoming hospitality, and we’re thrilled to bring Kimpton’s vision for human-centred hospitality and unique experiences to this vibrant community together with DC Partners.”
The 210-room Kimpton Fredericksburg is being designed by Merriman Anderson Architects from Dallas and interior design studio Curioso.
The hotel will feature environmentally conscious design elements such as intelligent climate systems and native landscaping that conserves water.
Guests can look forward to a range of dining options, a 10,000ft² resort-style pool and deck, a fitness centre, and a café.
Located approximately 90 minutes from Austin and San Antonio, Kimpton Fredericksburg will feature more than 18,500ft² of event space.
The hotel aims to be the first in the region to combine extensive accommodation options with a full-service events programme, positioning it as a venue for weddings, corporate retreats, and local events.
As a component of The Meuse, Kimpton Fredericksburg will provide easy access to more than 70,000ft² of retail and dining space within the development, enhancing the experience of both business and leisure travellers.
DC Partners’ construction and development vice president Blake Berg said: “Bringing a project of this scale to Fredericksburg required a deep commitment to honouring the city’s heritage and character.”
Kimpton Fredericksburg will join other Kimpton properties in Texas, including the Kimpton Santo Hotel in San Antonio and two in Fort Worth.
The Kimpton brand has 79 hotels open worldwide, with 61 more in development.
Other IHG luxury and lifestyle hotels in Texas include the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk and the InterContinental Houston.
The announcement follows last year’s partnership between Kimpton, JMA Ventures, and Machete Group to develop the brand’s first property in Orlando, Florida, US.
