SAN FRANCISCO—Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has been selected to manage a new, luxury boutique hotel in Manchester, VT.
The 87-room, new-construction project, owned as a joint venture between Florida-based developer Heaton Companies, local partner Clark French and Boston financial partner Janet Jiang of First Cambridge Capital, is under construction and is slated for a fall opening as The Taconic Hotel.
Named for the Taconic Mountains, The Kimpton Taconic Hotel will feature guestrooms with a variety of views of the Taconic and Green mountain ranges, as well as three standalone cottages. A 110-seat tavern with an additional 75 outdoor patio seats adjacent to the hotel will serve regional American fare that reflects Vermont’s culinary traditions.
The hotel will also feature a 2,600-sq.-ft. ballroom, along with an outdoor venue for weddings and other events. In addition, the hotel will have a boutique selling a variety of locally sourced specialty items.
