IHG | January 22, 2021 - Unveiling a new chapter in its European expansion, IHG®
Hotels & Resorts’ boutique luxury brand, Kimpton® Hotels & Restaurants,
will open its first property in France this spring. The opening of Kimpton St Honoré Paris will
see the brand’s playful and sophisticated design, innovative approach to
restaurants and bars, and immersive guest experiences that foster genuine human
connections, offer a fresh perspective on hospitality in the City of Light.
Kimpton St Honoré Paris will breathe new life into a
heritage building which once housed the much-loved luxury department store
“Samaritaine de Luxe”. Located on the Boulevard des Capucines in Paris’ Opéra
district, the hotel will infuse true Kimpton style, harmoniously blending
luxury and creativity across 149 stylish guest rooms (including 24 suites), an
indoor swimming pool, gym and a Spa with luxury treatment rooms. Its landmark
original 1917 Art Nouveau façade, distinctive staircase and unique elevator
will all be thoughtfully restored and celebrated French interior designer
Charles Zana is transforming the spaces to bring Kimpton’s elegant and playful
design to life within. Hotel interiors will be inspired by 1930’s Art Deco and
each guest room will have the feel of a chic, modern, design-centric Parisian
apartment, with balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows and thoughtfully-selected
works of art.
Culinary and cocktail experiences at Kimpton St Honoré Paris
will bring a refreshing light-heartedness and authenticity in its service to
the neighbourhood, with exciting outlets and Kimpton’s famed daily Social Hour
offering the opportunity for guests to enjoy interesting, locally inspired
drinks and swap stories. The light-filled ground-floor will see a
Californian-inspired restaurant and bar designed by Humbert & Poyet set to
combine light, seaside-inspired recipes infused with American generosity. On
the tenth-floor rooftop, a terrace bar with 360-degree views of the city will
welcome guests for unique cocktails and bites cleverly paired with social
moments in mind, set to become as popular with locals as with visitors to
Paris.
With 25 years of experience in luxury hospitality,
Jean-Paul Dantil, who has been appointed General Manager of Kimpton St Honoré
Paris, comments: “France is famed for its hospitality, and Paris for
its art, design, culture and admiration of originality, so we are thrilled to
be delivering Kimpton’s philosophy of relaxed, stylish and uniquely personal
service with this magnificent new flagship hotel. The opening of Kimpton St
Honoré will bring with it a refreshing sense of joie de vivre, reinvigorating a
building associated with traditional luxury and infusing it with a modern
approach to indulgence which welcomes, acknowledges and celebrates the
individual without the fuss.”
Founded in 1981 in San Francisco by Bill Kimpton, Kimpton
Hotels & Restaurants’ heartfelt approach to hospitality has translated to
unique, design-led hotels across city centres, beachside resorts, and mountain
getaways around the world. Kimpton’s recent notable new openings include Kimpton® Maa-LaiBangkok, Kimpton® Shinjuku Tokyo, Kimpton®Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, UK and Kimpton®Vividora Hotel in Barcelona. The brand is also set to make its debut
in Bali this year, and more hotels are in the pipeline for Germany, Mexico,
Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and the Netherlands in the next 2-5 years.
