Kimpton, part of the IHG luxury lifestyle portfolio of hotels, has unveiled plans to develop the brand’s next Texas location in the picturesque Hill Country. Poised to open in 2027, Kimpton Fredericksburg will anchor the 22-acre mixed-use development, The Meuse.
Named after Fredericksburg’s founder, John O. Meusebach, the development is designed to extend downtown’s charm by combining local authenticity with luxurious hospitality, retail and dining destinations.
The 210-room luxury lifestyle hotel will be brought to life by Dallas-based Merriman Anderson Architects and interior design studio Curioso and will complement the town’s inspiring atmosphere and warm hospitality, providing a vibrant social hub filled with expansive experiences for visitors and locals alike.

With expansive natural landscapes and rolling hills as its backdrop, Fredericksburg enchants visitors with its historic architecture, locally-owned boutiques and antique shops, inspired art galleries and farm-to-table cuisine.
