USA | Kimpton has expanded its Texas portfolio with DC Partners through a new luxury lifestyle hotel to anchor a new development.
Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ fast-growing luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has announced plans with Houston-based DC Partners to develop the brand’s fourth Texas location in the picturesque Hill Country. Poised to open in 2027, Kimpton Fredericksburg will anchor the 22-acre mixed-use development, The Meuse. Named after Fredericksburg’s founder, John O. Meusebach, the development is designed to seamlessly extend downtown’s charm by combining local authenticity with luxurious hospitality, retail and dining destinations.
The 210-room luxury lifestyle hotel will be brought to life by Dallas-based Merriman Anderson Architects and interior design studio Curioso and will complement the town’s inspiring atmosphere and warm hospitality, providing a vibrant social hub filled with expansive experiences for visitors and locals alike. Thoughtful design details will also be incorporated to preserve the natural beauty of the Hill Country, including intelligent climate systems as well as native, low-water-consuming landscaping and plumbing fixtures to minimise environmental impact. Kimpton Fredericksburg will feature distinctive dining options, including a full-service restaurant and bar, along with a poolside bar and lounge. Additional amenities will include a 10,000 square-foot resort-style outdoor pool and deck, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and a café with thoughtful takeaways. As with all Kimptons, the hotel will also feature perks such as Kimpton Social evening social hour, a “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program, in-room yoga mats and pet-friendly policies.
Kimpton Fredericksburg, just 90 minutes from Austin and San Antonio, will offer over 18,500 square feet of indoor/outdoor flexible event space, including an event barn, pre-function spaces, meeting rooms, a rooftop lounge and outdoor gathering areas. With 210 guest rooms and Kimpton’s expertise in delivering genuine hospitality and memorable events, Kimpton Fredericksburg will be the first in the region to pair large-format accommodations and a full-service events program under one roof, making it the ideal destination for weddings, celebrations, local events and benefits, and corporate retreats.
“We are excited to continue growing our luxury and lifestyle presence within Texas, and Kimpton Fredericksburg will complement our distinct properties and the memorable experiences guests can discover across the state,” said Leanne Harwood, SVP and Managing Director of Luxury & Lifestyle in the Americas.
“The Texas Hill Country is celebrated for its warm, welcoming hospitality, and we’re thrilled to bring Kimpton’s vision for human-centred hospitality and unique experiences to this vibrant community together with DC Partners.”
