IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio is expanding into New York City this fall, opening the Kimpton Hotel Theta within the city’s historic Theater District. 

The Kimpton Hotel Theta is an adaptive re-use project with fifteen floors, 364 guest rooms and suites, as well as a 1,100-square-foot penthouse. It will feature several Kimpton-branded favorites, like morning coffee and tea, evening social hours, a useful amenity program, 24-hour fitness center, in-room yoga mats, custom PUBLIC bikes and a no-fee pet policy. 

“We're looking forward to bringing another Kimpton to the New York City market, and Kimpton Hotel Theta will bring an unexpected, refreshing experience to the Midtown West neighborhood,” said Mike DeFrino, Managing Director, Luxury & Lifestyle Americas at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “The hotel will serve as a boutique oasis designed to delight all guests who are looking to stay in the middle of it all but also have space to recharge and reset.”

Special features include a large rooftop restaurant and speakeasy by TableOne Hospitality, a grand-and-go market in the lobby, and 1,100-square-feet of meeting space. 

Kimpton Hotel Theta is located on 48th Street and 8th Avenue, within walking distance to Broadway and the Museum of Modern Art, and within walking distance to several transportation hubs. 

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants is currently planning to open over 25 hotels in the next three to five years in destinations like the Riviera Maya, Bali and Shanghai.
