• Kimpton's expansion from its US heartlands since it was acquired by IHG in December 2014 has been slower than expected, especially given the dizzying speed with which IHG is capable of rolling out brands such as Holiday Inn.
But it is starting to show signs of picking up momentum, and with this week's announcement of the brand's first property in Canada, Kimpton has thrown a minor curve ball to industry watchers who expected the focus of non-US expansion to be in Europe. Here, it has opened its first property, a conversion of the former Crowne Plaza in Amsterdam, and is working on a second in Paris.
Could it be that there are actually fewer properties in Europe that meet Kimpton's conversion criteria than the company was planning on? Perhaps it will have to look back to the US for inspiration and get involved with mixed-use new-build projects to assure its growth, as it is increasingly doing Stateside.
