First Kimpton Hotel in Europe

The hotel is currently operating as Crowne Plaza Amsterdam City Centre and will undergo a full renovation before open as a 270-room luxury Kimpton hotel in 2017. It will feature boldly designed, boutique rooms as well as a destination bar and restaurant for guests and locals alike, a gym and meeting spaces. Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants was acquired by IHG in January 2015 and is known for its playful design and personal approach - like yoga mats in every room, complimentary coffee and tea, Wine Hour, in-room fitness options and complimentary bike rentals. There are currently 59 managed Kimpton hotels in the US, as well as 74 destination restaurants and bars. Mike DeFrino, Chief Executive, Kimpton said: “Bill Kimpton’s European travels and boutique hotel experiences inspired him to start this company in San Francisco back in 1981, which makes the announcement of our first hotel in Europe all that more meaningful. We found a kindred spirit in Amsterdam and are excited to introduce our heartfelt approach to hospitality to a new audience.”
