After the complete transformation of the rooms, lobby, facilities, and restaurants, the 270-key hotel will feature luxury boutique rooms, upscale food and beverage destination options, a brand new gym, and fully equipped meeting spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Located within a three-minute walk from Amsterdam\u2019s Central Station, the property sits at the center of the city\u2019s ring of canals and offers great strolling routes to nearly all local sights and attractions. The hotel is currently owned by YC Amsterdam BV, a venture group set up by York Capital Management affiliates and its operating partner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEurope, the home of boutique, is the perfect place for us to open our first Kimpton outside of the Americas and I can\u2019t think of a better city to launch in than Amsterdam. The boutique segment is the fastest growing part of our industry (\u2026) and we see enormous opportunity for the brand around Europe,\u201d said Angela Brav, IHG Chief Executive for Europe, in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>Acquired by the InterContinental Hotels Group in 2015, Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants is an asset-light company that operates under management contracts. Its current portfolio includes over 60 upscale hotels in the United States, as well as 83 destination restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy of Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants makes its European debut with luxury property in the heart of Amsterdam. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":740,"featured_media":1004136069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21751,16,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004136068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hotel","category-international","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
