The proposed hotel adjacent to the Entertainment and Sports Center (ESC) will provide visitors with “an unparalleled experience – offering premium service, style and comfort together with civic, sports and entertainment option”, the partners said.
“Securing a world-renowned brand like Kimpton builds momentum for the project and the entire Sacramento region,” said Kings chairman and owner Vivek Ranadivé. “One of our top priorities has been to ensure the arena and its supported businesses reflect Sacramento’s dynamic culture. Many hotel brands submitted proposals, but we ultimately felt that Kimpton was best-suited to help us deliver stellar hospitality anchored in inspiring design, unique style of branding and thoughtful amenities.”
Kimpton CEO Mike DeFrino, said: “We’re truly excited to be part of the tremendous growth and urban revitalisation currently happening in Sacramento. There’s a palpable sense of excitement in Sacramento right now, and we are thrilled to bring our signature style, boutique spirit and unparalleled guest experience to this wonderfully unique and passionate city. We can’t wait until our Sacramento hotel joins the Kimpton family.”
The proposed 16-storey mixed-use high-rise tower that would house the 250-room hotel is scheduled to open with the new ESC in autumn 2016.
