IHG Hotels and Resorts has revealed plans to open a Kimpton boutique hotel in New York City, US, later this year.

Kimpton Hotel Theta will be opened following the reimagination of an existing mixed-use hotel.

The hotel’s name is inspired by the Theta brainwaves and the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet. It also reflects the hotel’s location on 8th Avenue.

It will offer 364 guest rooms including five suites, of which one will be a 1,100ft² penthouse.

Food venues will include a 3,200ft² rooftop restaurant by TableOne Hospitality and a grab-and-go market and coffee service in the lobby.

The 15-floor property will also house 1,100ft² of meeting space and a round-the-clock fitness centre.

IHG Hotels and Resorts Luxury and Lifestyle Americas managing director Mike DeFrino said: “We’re looking forward to bringing another Kimpton to the New York City market and Kimpton Hotel Theta will bring an unexpected, refreshing experience to the Midtown West neighbourhood.

“The hotel will serve as a boutique oasis designed to delight all guests who are looking to stay in the middle of it all but also have space to recharge and reset.”

Kimpton Hotel Theta will be operated by hotel investment and management firm Highgate.

Highgate CEO Arash Azarbarzin said: “As the newest addition to Highgate’s growing lifestyle and luxury portfolio, Hotel Theta offers an unrivalled experience for travellers and locals with its reimagined design, dynamic programming and soaring rooftop lounge.”

The hotel will become Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants’ second property in New York City after Kimpton Hotel Eventi.

The Kimpton brand has more than 70 operating properties across the globe.

In the next three to five years, the brand will add more than 25 Kimpton hotels across 20 new global destinations, including Roatan, Riviera Maya, Shanghai and Bali.

Last month, IHG extended its partnership with real estate group Asset World Corp for the Kimpton Pattaya hotel, the second Kimpton property in Thailand. The hotel is expected to be opened in 2028.
