Kimpton has announced the signing of Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas in Paradise Valley, Arizona, a desert and mountain enclave east of Phoenix.

The first branded IHG luxury and lifestyle property in the Paradise Valley/Scottsdale market, the resort is expected to open in early 2026 following the comprehensive reimagination of an existing 42-acre retreat.

Set against the backdrop of the Camelback and Mummy Mountains, and a short distance from the Old Town Scottsdale retail and entertainment district, Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas’s design will echo the surrounding desert landscape.

The property will feature:

• more than 400 guestrooms and suites
• four food and beverage offerings being developed in partnership with lifestyle hospitality group sbe, including a modern restaurant helmed by a celebrated culinary talent
• 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event and meeting spaces
• a state-of-the-art fitness center
• six onsite swimming pools
• a salon and day spa

Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas will also offer the brand’s signature perks: complimentary bike rentals, in-room yoga mats, the Kimpton Kickstart morning coffee and tea service and evening Kimpton Social Hour, and the signature “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program which provides must-have travel items or accessories to borrow.

Leanne Harwood, senior vice-president, managing director, Luxury, Lifestyle & Managed Hotels, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Kimpton’s rich legacy and unique approach to luxury lifestyle are a natural fit for suburban Phoenix, which remains one of the fastest growing U.S. metropolitan areas and a haven for both business meetings and travelers seeking connection with the beautiful surroundings. Through its contemporary design, breathtaking views, and what will become exemplary culinary destinations, Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas will bring forth the best of what our luxury and lifestyle brands and dedicated segment leadership team have to offer.”

The new Kimpton resort will operate under the joint ownership of private investment firms Partners Group and Trinity Investments, and marks the first IHG branded property within each group’s extensive luxury and resort portfolios. Highgate, a leading real estate investment and hospitality management company, will manage the hotel, further expanding its collection of more than 400 owned and managed global properties.

Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas will represent the brand’s second Arizona property, joining Kimpton Hotel Palomar in downtown Phoenix.
