Kimpton has announced plans for a new boutique luxury hotel and branded residences in the Mexican city of Monterrey.

Central location

Kimpton Monterrey will be located in the new-build mixed-use Torre Rise, set to be the tallest tower in Latin America. The Torre Rise complex will include a sky deck, performance centre, elevated park, luxury retail and more.

Slated to open in 2026, the 120-key hotel is owned by Grupo Alora and operated by Marca Hotel Solutions. 

In addition to the 120 guest suites, Kimpton Monterrey will also hold 60 private residences, in a continuation of IHG’s expansion in the branded residences space. 

Kimpton Monterrey is located centrally, near the city’s galleries, shopping destinations, major businesses and companies’ headquarters, as well as medical centres.

The hotel will provide sprawling panoramic views of the surrounding city, Cerro de la Silla, Sierra Madre de Chipinque, and Cerro de las Mitras mountains. 

Facilities include an onsite wellness centre with an indoor pool, sauna and massage treatment rooms. 

Kimpton Monterrey’s inspired restaurant and bar concepts will include a full-service restaurant and a lobby lounge on the 16th floor. 

Additional amenities will include a designated 1,244 square-meter space to host unique meetings and social gatherings. As with all Kimptons, the property will also feature 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.

Leanne Harwood, SVP and Managing Director of Luxury & Lifestyle Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are delighted to continue growing our luxury and lifestyle presence within Mexico, and Kimpton Monterrey is poised to bring its distinct perspective, refined style and innovative restaurants and bars to this key international market. 

“We are also especially excited to build upon our existing collaboration with Grupo Alora, working together to provide travellers with the inspired experiences and human hospitality for which Kimpton is celebrated globally.”

Monterrey takes charge

As Mexico’s second-largest economy, Monterrey is a bustling international business hub balanced by breathtaking natural surroundings and a vibrant cultural scene. 

Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, has five properties currently in Mexico. 

Forthcoming openings in Mexico include Kimpton Tres Rios Riviera Maya, the brand’s first-ever all-inclusive resort, and another boutique hotel in Mexico City’s Polanco neighbourhood. 

The Kimpton brand currently has 78 hotels open globally, with 57 projects in the pipeline.
