IHG Signs First Kimpton Hotel in France

IHG has signed a deal to open the first Kimpton hotel in France.

The Kimpton St Honoré Paris, scheduled to open in spring, will breathe new life into a heritage building which once housed the department store “Samaritaine de Luxe”.

Its landmark original 1917 Art Nouveau façade, distinctive staircase and unique elevator will all be 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.

Located on the Boulevard des Capucines in Paris’ Opéra district, the hotel will feature 149 rooms and suites, an indoor swimming pool, a gym, spa, and a restaurant on the ground floor, as well as a rooftop terrace bar on the tenth-floor. 

Jean-Paul Dantil, General Manager of Kimpton St Honoré Paris, said, “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.”
