Netherlands: IHG has opened the Kimpton De Witt in Amsterdam, the first Kimpton in Europe and outside of the Americas.
The 274 room hotel, a conversion of the former Crowne Plaza Amsterdam City Centre, has undergone a full renovation of the lobby, restaurants, facilities and guest rooms. It is owned by YC Amsterdam BV, a venture set up by affiliates of York Capital Management and its operating partner.
“Europe was the original inspiration behind Bill Kimpton founding the brand and now we’re bringing the brand home again. Opening in Amsterdam, gives us the perfect opportunity to indulge in the playful, creative and innovative approach to luxury that the city inspires in Kimpton‘s unique and special way,” said Angela Brav, IHG’s CEO, Europe. “Amsterdam as a city is effortless in design, highly diverse and a hotbed of creativity, making it the perfect match for our first Kimpton hotel in Europe. We’ll be bringing Kimpton to Paris next and have big plans for other cities across the continent.”
