News / IHG Hotels & Resorts announces first all-Inclusive Kimpton resort to open in Riviera Maya in early 2024
Boutique hospitality brand expands its offerings and its presence in Mexico
IHG Hotels & Resorts announces a new endeavor for its boutique pioneer brand Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants with the signing of its first all-inclusive resort. Kimpton continues to innovate and grow beyond its original urban boutique hotel model to evolve the brand's product offerings while maintaining its award-winning quality and trademark ethos. Together with the resort's owner, Sunset World, and operator, Playa Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort, Spa & Nature Park will bring the brand's signature barefoot luxury and heartfelt care to the Riviera Maya's Playa del Carmen in early 2024.
Originally opened in November 2008, Kimpton Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort, Spa & Nature Park will feature not only a rebrand of the award-winning, environmentally conscious resort but also an interior renovation of its 255 architecturally acclaimed guest rooms, suites and villas. Guests of the all-inclusive beachfront resort will enjoy want-for-nothing amenities and activities such as 11 unique culinary concepts, five swimming pools, private beach access, a world-class spa, fitness center and several family-friendly facilities ranging from a Kids Club to water sports. For those looking to meet or celebrate beachside, the resort also will house a total of 26,200 square feet of meetings and events space across 12 rooms.
Located in the heart of Riviera Maya in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Kimpton Hacienda Tres Ríos will fully embrace its namesake thanks to the three freshwater rivers that flow through the Tres Ríos Nature Park's 326 acres of well-preserved tropical forest. Throughout the resort and nature park, guests can explore 10 cenotes and discover more than 90 species of animals and 120 species of plants. As one of the area's privately owned natural treasures, Tres Ríos is governed by strict environmental regulations for sustainable tourism.
Striking the delicate balance between luxurious amenities and environmental conservation, Kimpton Hacienda Tres Ríos will appeal to both IHG One Rewards members and curious tourists looking for a one-of-a-kind all-inclusive experience. All guests can unwind on the resort's peaceful beaches and explore the stunning grounds, whether through swimming, snorkeling or kayaking via guided tours of the mangrove forests. Those looking to take in Riviera Maya and Playa del Carmen beyond the resort can discover further culture and adventure within the area's Mayan ruins, golf courses, shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.
The leading operator in the Mexican all-inclusive industry, Playa Hotels & Resorts currently manages more than 10 hotels in Mexico. As the only company managing all-inclusive hotels for multiple brands, they've successfully assisted with developing well-known brands such as Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Ziva, and Wyndham Alltra. The Hacienda Tres Rios marks Playa's first resort with Kimpton.
While marking the first all-inclusive for the brand, Kimpton Hacienda Tres Ríos will join the 72-room Kimpton Aluna Hotel as Kimpton's second property in Riviera Maya. The Kimpton brand continues to grow in the Americas and internationally, with more than 25 Kimpton hotels across 20 new global destinations, including Mexico City, Roatan, Bali and Shanghai, scheduled to open in the next three to five years.
