International

Brand expands California roots with riverside property featuring rooftop bar, courtyard, and wellness spaces

Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has announced plans to open its first Napa Valley property in 2028. The move extends Kimpton’s “laid back sophistication” into one of California’s most sought-after destinations, visited by more than four million travelers annually.

A new landmark along the Napa River

The forthcoming Kimpton Napa will occupy a highly visible location between First Street, the Napa River, Main Street, and the Oxbow Public Market. The hotel will comprise two four-story buildings with 123 spacious guest rooms. Design and décor will reflect the valley’s landscape and culture, creating a setting for both guests and locals to gather after a day of wine tasting, shopping, or dining.

Brand hallmarks and distinctive features

True to Kimpton’s style, guests will enjoy signature amenities including Kimpton Kickstart morning coffee and tea service, evening Social Hour, and the “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program. Pets of all sizes will be welcomed at no extra charge. Wellness will play a central role, with an outdoor spa, contrast therapy studios, and garden patios. A rooftop bar and restaurant will highlight regional flavors and panoramic views, while a central courtyard will foster community and connection.

Voices from IHG and Stratus Development Partners

“For more than four decades, Kimpton has wowed guests with a bold take on luxury hospitality,” said Leanne Harwood, SVP and Managing Director of Luxury & Lifestyle Americas at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Napa Valley, with its rich cultural history and global appeal, is a perfect next step for the brand. Together with Stratus Development Partners, we will deliver something truly special to the region.”

Andrew Wood, Principal at Stratus Development Partners, added: “Napa Valley embodies the ‘laid back luxury’ lifestyle that Kimpton represents. This hotel will serve as a vibrant social hub for both travelers and the community.”

Part of a broader expansion

The Napa Valley project joins nearly 150 Kimpton hotels open or in the pipeline worldwide. Recent and upcoming openings include Kimpton Fredericksburg in Texas, Kimpton Mirador Pacific Grove in California, and Kimpton Coco Palms Resort in Hawaii.
