USA | Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, part of IHG'S luxury and lifestyle portfolio, announced that Kimpton Claret Hotel has officially opened its doors in Denver.
Anchoring the burgeoning lifestyle scene of the Belleview Station neighbourhood, Kimpton Claret Hotel is a brand new, pioneer property for residents and visitors seeking a fresh yet familiar hospitality experience in South Denver.
“We are excited to open our doors as the first lifestyle boutique hotel in this area,” said Kimpton Claret General Manager Keith Siebenaler.
“Belleview Station is a destination on the rise as it is perfectly located between Downtown Denver, the South Denver corridor and Cherry Creek State Park and really capitalises on the live, work, play trend in development. Our location in this vibrant neighbourhood positions us to become a cultural hub for locals, frequent visitors and newcomers to the area.”
The design of the 19-floor newly built Kimpton Claret Hotel is a study of contrasts with a juxtaposition of design elements throughout, such as chunky knits and supple leather, warm woods and cool metals and textural plaster and smooth stone. With natural materials as the foundation, the infusion of bespoke furniture, curated art and rich textures creates spaces that are both effortless and evocative.
Kimpton Claret Hotel’s 190 guest rooms are intentionally minimal, with a soft palette of grey, beige and cream combined with warm accents such as textural wool throws. The calming tones are offset by striking modern artwork and large picture windows that frame the Denver and mountain landscapes, creating a sophisticated respite that celebrates the beauty of its setting. Among the guest rooms are four suites – including two specialty suites, one of which offers a dining area and wet bar.
Kimpton Claret’s ground floor restaurant, Saverina, is located adjacent to the hotel lobby and features Italian-inspired cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner created with sustainable, local, and organic ingredients. Created by Executive Chef Christian Graves, Saverina’s food program embraces the best of Italy while incorporating the seasonality of Colorado in its sourdough pizzas, house-made pasta dishes and vegetable-centric starters. The restaurant boasts a chic and comfortable aesthetic that is open and airy with a display kitchen, large windows, high ceilings and street-front views. The space is outfitted with a look that's both understated and elegant using organic materials like exposed brick, black steel, blonde wood, marble and leather.
