Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts‘ fast-growing luxury and lifestyle portfolio, announces 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 minimize 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 center 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.
With expansive natural landscapes and rolling hills as its backdrop, Fredericksburg enchants visitors with its historic architecture, locally-owned boutiques and antique shops, inspired art galleries and farm-to-table cuisine. The Texas Hill Country is also one of the fastest-growing wine regions in the United States and Fredericksburg is hailed as the epicenter of Texas Wine Country. With more than 75 wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms nearby, visiting wine enthusiasts can sip acclaimed vintages while taking in the surrounding scenery. Guests who instead seek outdoor adventures can immerse themselves in golfing, fishing, horseback riding or hiking at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. As part of The Meuse, business and leisure travelers staying at Kimpton Fredericksburg will also have convenient access to the mixed-use development’s more than 70,000 square feet of retail and dining space – all designed to complement and serve as an extension of downtown’s Main Street.
In Texas, Kimpton Fredericksburg will join the recently-opened Kimpton Santo Hotel in San Antonio as well as Kimpton Pittman Hotel and Kimpton Harper Hotel, both located in Fort Worth. The Kimpton brand currently has 79 hotels open globally, with 61 projects in the pipeline.* Additional IHG luxury and lifestyle properties across the state include the new InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk and InterContinental Houston.
