i By January 6, 2025 No Comments

Kimpton Monterrey, the brand’s sixth property in Mexico, is slated to open in 2026 in the new-build mixed-use Torre Rise skyscraper, which is set to be the tallest tower in Latin America.

Owned by Grupo Alora and operated by Marca Hotel Solutions, the property will feature 120 guestrooms and 60 private residences.

“We are delighted to continue growing our luxury and lifestyle presence within Mexico, and Kimpton Monterrey is poised to bring its distinctive perspective, refined style and innovative restaurants and bars to this key international market,” said Leanne Harwood, senior vice-president and managing director of Luxury & Lifestyle Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “We are also especially excited to build upon our existing collaboration with Grupo Alora, working together to provide travelers with the inspired experiences and human hospitality for which Kimpton is celebrated globally.”

Amenities at Kimpton Monterrey will include:

  • an on-site wellness center featuring an indoor pool, sauna and massage treatment rooms;
  • restaurant and bar concepts including a full-service restaurant and a lobby lounge on the 16th floor;
  • nearly 13,400 square feet of meeting and event spaces;
  • and Kimpton perks such as Kimpton Kickstart morning coffee and tea service, Kimpton Social evening social hour, a “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program, in-room yoga mats and pet-friendly policies.

Monterrey is the capital and largest city of the northeastern state of Nuevo León, Mexico. An international business hub, it is surrounded by the Sierra Madre de Chipinque and Cerro de las Mitras mountains. Kimpton Monterrey will be centrally located, with easy access to the city’s galleries, shopping destinations, medical centers, and major businesses and companies’ headquarters.

The hotel’s guests will also benefit from the Torre Rise’s amenities and experiences, which will include a sky deck, performance center, elevated park, luxury retail and more.

Alejandro Chávez, CEO of Grupo Alora, said: “We are elated with this new signing for several reasons. First and foremost, it strengthens our relationship with IHG Hotels & Resorts, with whom we are already partners in several properties. Second, it will introduce another fantastic IHG brand, Kimpton, to Monterrey – an economic engine in Mexico that is increasingly becoming a lifestyle and leisure destination. Finally, this partnership provides us with the opportunity to debut not only a world-renowned luxury brand in our city, within a spectacular state-of-the-art mixed-use development, but also an innovative branded residences offering.”

In Mexico, Kimpton Monterrey will join the Kimpton Virgilio in Mexico City, Kimpton Mas Olas Resort & Spa in Todos Santos and Kimpton Aluna Resort in Tulum. Forthcoming openings include Kimpton Tres Rios Riviera Maya, the brand’s first-ever all-inclusive resort, and another boutique hotel in Mexico City’s Polanco neighborhood.
