Kimpton has secured plans with DC Partners to develop the brand’s fourth Texas hotel in Texas.
Poised to open in 2027, the Kimpton Fredericksburg—90 minutes from both Austin and San Antonio—will anchor the 22-acre mixed-use development known as The Meuse. Named after Fredericksburg’s founder, John O. Meusebach, the development is designed to extend downtown’s charm by combining local authenticity with luxurious hospitality, retail and dining destinations, according to Kimpton.
“Bringing a project of this scale to Fredericksburg required a deep commitment to honoring the city’s heritage and character,” Blake Berg, VP of construction and development for DC Partners, said in a statement. “Every detail of The Meuse has been carefully considered to ensure it complements the charm and authenticity of the Hill Country. Kimpton Fredericksburg will be an integral part of this vision, delivering an elevated and well-curated hospitality experience that feels both distinctive and deeply connected to the local community.”
“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, Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts. "The Texas Hill Country is celebrated for its warm, welcoming hospitality, and we’re thrilled to bring Kimpton’s vision for human-centered hospitality and unique experiences to this vibrant community together with DC Partners.”
The 210-room luxury lifestyle hotel will be designed by Dallas-based Merriman Anderson Architects and interior design studio Curioso. The Kimpton brand—part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio—currently has 79 hotels open globally, with 61 projects in the pipeline. Within 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.
Kimpton Fredericksburg will have 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 fitness center and a café. It also will have 18,500 square feet of indoor/outdoor event space, including an event barn, pre-function spaces, meeting rooms, a rooftop lounge and outdoor gathering areas.
