Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ rapidly expanding luxury and lifestyle collection, has revealed exciting plans to open its fourth Texas property in the breathtaking Hill Country. Set to debut in 2027, Kimpton Fredericksburg will be the anchor of The Meuse, a 22-acre mixed-use development spearheaded by DC Partners, based in Houston. Named after the town’s founder, John O. Meusebach, this new development is designed to complement Fredericksburg’s distinct charm while infusing it with luxurious hospitality, retail, and dining offerings.

The luxurious 210-room hotel will be brought to life by Merriman Anderson Architects of Dallas and the creative minds at Curioso, an interior design studio. Kimpton Fredericksburg will capture the essence of the town’s welcoming ambiance, combining its warmth and historic character with contemporary luxury. The property will become a vibrant social hub for both visitors and locals, offering an array of expansive experiences to enjoy. Sustainability is a key focus, with the hotel incorporating energy-efficient climate systems, water-conscious landscaping, and eco-friendly plumbing fixtures to minimize its environmental footprint while maintaining the natural beauty of the Hill Country.

The hotel will feature a variety of dining options, including a full-service restaurant and bar, along with a poolside bar and lounge. A 10,000-square-foot resort-style outdoor pool and deck will invite relaxation and social gatherings, while a state-of-the-art fitness center and a café offering convenient takeaways will further enhance the guest experience. Guests will also enjoy Kimpton’s signature perks, such as the Kimpton Social evening hour, the “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program, in-room yoga mats, and the brand’s pet-friendly policy.

Ideally located just 90 minutes from Austin and San Antonio, Kimpton Fredericksburg will offer more than 18,500 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event spaces. This includes an event barn, meeting rooms, pre-function spaces, a rooftop lounge, and outdoor gathering areas, making it a premier venue for weddings, corporate events, local celebrations, and retreats. By combining expansive accommodations with a comprehensive events program, Kimpton Fredericksburg will stand out as the perfect destination for both large events and intimate gatherings, solidifying its status as a premier luxury destination in the Hill Country.

Leanne Harwood, SVP and Managing Director of Luxury & Lifestyle Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “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. 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 this vibrant community together with DC Partners.”

Surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes and rolling hills, Fredericksburg captivates visitors with its blend of historic architecture, charming locally-owned boutiques, antique shops, inspiring art galleries, and vibrant farm-to-table dining scene. Known as the heart of Texas Wine Country, the Texas Hill Country is one of the fastest-growing wine regions in the U.S., with Fredericksburg at its center. Wine lovers can explore over 75 wineries, vineyards, and tasting rooms, savoring world-class wines while enjoying panoramic views of the picturesque landscape. For those seeking outdoor thrills, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area offers opportunities for golfing, fishing, horseback riding, and hiking. Located within The Meuse, guests staying at Kimpton Fredericksburg will also have easy access to more than 70,000 square feet of retail and dining space, all thoughtfully designed to extend the charm of downtown’s Main Street and enhance the experience for both business and leisure travelers.

Blake Berg, VP of Construction and Development of DC Partners, said: “Bringing a project of this scale to Fredericksburg required a deep commitment to honoring the city’s heritage and character. Every detail of The Meuse has been carefully considered to ensure it complements the charm and authenticity of the Hill Country. Kimpton Fredericksburg will be an integral part of this vision, delivering an elevated and well curated hospitality experience that feels both distinctive and deeply connected to the local community.”

In Texas, Kimpton Fredericksburg will join the recently opened Kimpton Santo Hotel in San Antonio, along with the Kimpton Pittman Hotel and Kimpton Harper Hotel in Fort Worth. Globally, the Kimpton brand currently boasts 79 open hotels, with 61 more projects in development.* Additionally, IHG Hotels & Resorts continues to expand its luxury and lifestyle portfolio in the state, including the new InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk and InterContinental Houston.
