Kimpton likes to think of Travel as Geographical and Cultural Immersion. Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, which joined the IHG Hotels & Resorts group in 2015, pursues its Passionate Approach to Storytelling, and Enhancing the Narrative. The Creative Folly of its Founder resonates even Today and can be experienced for the first time in France, in Paris, where Kimpton St Honoré Paris opened.

Interior Architect Charles Zana designed each of the 149 Rooms, including 26 Suites, to emulate a Private Parisian Flat. All Wonderfully Luminous, each one different, these Spacious Accommodations are Custom-Made to fit the Architecture of this Typical Parisian Building, with its Alcoves, Niches and Half-Stories. Thirty of them have a Balcony overlooking the Boulevard des Capucines and the Opéra. The Decoration is a Lively Repartee between Past Beauty and Modern Flair, reinterpreting Iconic Elements of the Classic Style-Ledges, Mouldings, Panelling, Woodwork, Parquet, Brass Light Switches and Baseboard Strips-with Contemporary Accents.

Every Kimpton Hotel Worldwide has a Fun Location-Specific Detail hidden away in Each Room. In Paris, this "Closet Smile" comes in the Form of a Stylized Brass Rose created by the French Design House Art et Floritude. This Reminder of the Facade's Floral Designs is waiting to be discovered in the Wardrobe...
