Kimpton is partnering with Houston-based DC Partners to develop its fourth Texas location in the state’s Hill Country.
Expected to open in 2027, Kimpton Fredericksburg will anchor the 22-acre, mixed-use development, The Meuse. Named after Frederickburg’s founder, John O. Meusebach, the development will include luxury hospitality, retail and dining destinations.
The 210-room luxury lifestyle hotel will be brought to life by Dallas-based Merriman Anderson Architects and interior design studio Curioso. Its design will feature details to preserve and protect the local environment, including intelligent climate systems and low-water consuming landscaping and plumbing fixtures. Kimpton Fredericksburg will also offer:
- multiple dining options, including a full-service restaurant and bar as well as a poolside bar and lounge;
- a 10,000-square-foot resort-style outdoor pool and deck;
- state-of-the-art fitness center;
- and a café.
Located just 90 minutes from Austin and San Antonio, the property will also have more than 18,500 square feet of indoor/outdoor flexible event space, including an event barn, pre-function spaces, meeting rooms, a rooftop lounge, and outdoor gathering areas.
The Texas Hill Country is one of the fastest wine-growing regions in the United States, with more than 75 wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms nearby. The town of Fredericksburg – its epicenter – is known for its historic architecture, locally-owned boutiques and antique shops, art galleries, and farm-to-table gastronomy.
“We are excited to continue growing our luxury and lifestyle presence within Texas, and Kimpton Fredericksburg will complement our distinct properties and the memorable experiences guests can discover across the state,” said Leanne Harwood, senior vice-president 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 the vibrant community together with DC Partners.”
In 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.
