"Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, part of InterContinental Hotels Group, said in a Thursday news release that the Napa location will join 10 other Kimpton hotels currently open in California. The project, approved by the Napa City Council in April 2024 and proposed by Newport Beach-based Stratus Development Partners, will feature two four-story, 60-foot buildings near Soscol Avenue and First Street."
"The project has been in the works for years. Originally known as the First and Oxbow Gateway Hotel, an earlier version approved by the council in 2020 included 74 rooms, ground-floor retail space, a cafe and two underground parking levels. Stratus, which later took over from the original developer, revised the plans to eliminate meeting and retail space, shrink room sizes and increase both parking and the number of guest rooms."
"Founded in 1981 in San Francisco by Bill Kimpton, the brand is considered one of the pioneers of boutique hotels in the U.S. InterContinental Hotels Group acquired it in 2014 and has since expanded Kimpton both domestically and abroad. The hotels are known for design-forward properties, strong food and beverage programs, and personal, neighborhood-focused experiences that blend luxury with character."
Kimpton will open a 123-room hotel near Napa’s Oxbow District slated for 2028. The project, approved by the Napa City Council in April 2024 and proposed by Newport Beach-based Stratus Development Partners, will consist of two four-story, 60-foot buildings near Soscol Avenue and First Street. The new design emphasizes Kimpton signature offerings such as pet-friendly stays at no extra charge and complimentary morning coffee and tea. The development evolved from a 2020 approval for a smaller project with retail and a cafe; revisions removed meeting and retail space, reduced room sizes and increased parking and guest rooms. Residents raised concerns about traffic and climate impacts.
