SAN FRANCISCO—Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has plans for a second property in the Caribbean with the Kimpton Kawana Bay Grenada Resort, slated to open in early 2019.
Owned and developed by True Blue Development Limited, a division of the Tau Capital Group of Companies, the resort will be developed as a partial adaptive-reuse with new-build expansion. The 146-key resort will have 101 studio rooms and 45 suites, with 12 additional penthouse apartments to be made available for sale to private owners.
A number of Kawana Bay’s suites will include private pools overlooking Grand Anse Beach, and all rooms will feature ocean views. Additional amenities will include an infinity pool, chef-driven restaurant, lounge and beach bars, fitness center, spa and water sports facilities.
“Ever since we gave the Caribbean its first taste of Kimpton with our Seafire Resort + Spa in Grand Cayman, the region and resorts in particular continue to be areas of focus for our expansion,” said Mike DeFrino, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants’ CEO. “Grenada offers us the opportunity to further make our mark and introduce Kimpton to an even wider international audience.”
