IHG has signed Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in Rotterdam, Netherlands. This hotel will be developed and opened with Omnam Group. The launch is set for 2022. This is the second hotel for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in The Netherlands and will be located in Rotterdam’s POST building, the city’s former main Post Office dating back to 1921, which today is part of a dynamic mixed-use project in the heart of the city centre. When open, the hotel will offer 231 luxuriously-finished guest rooms, created by ODA NY.
Karin Sheppard, Managing Director, Europe, IHG, commented: “Rotterdam is the second largest city in The Netherlands, growing in popularity with both domestic and international tourists and attracting a bustling leisure scene. It is an ideal fit for our Kimpton brand, whose heartfelt, personalised service and bold design will resonate well with this vibrant city. We’ve seen in Amsterdam just how well our luxury boutique offering has been received in Europe, and this new signing only reinforces momentum for Kimpton’s international expansion.”
David Zisser, Founder and CEO Omnam Group, commented: “The magnificent POST building deserves a carefully customised approach to design and hospitality. The Kimpton brand and philosophy is, simply put, a 100% fit. We are convinced that POST will become an international icon where people from all over the world will come, stay and enjoy.”
