Kimpton Acquires Lux Arizona Resort

SEDONA, Ariz.

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants today announced that it has purchased Amara Resort and Spa in Sedona, Ariz.

The 100-room boutique resort overlooking Sedona’s Oak Creek will be the third Kimpton hotel in Arizona and will join Kimpton’s portfolio of 59 hotels and 68 restaurants, bars and lounges in 25 cities nationwide.

Amara Resort and Spa is located in the heart of Uptown Sedona and is just a two-minute walk from Sedona’s popular shops, galleries, wine tasting and restaurants.

Amara Resort and Spa completed a $2 million renovation in September 2012, which included the addition of a 26,000-gallon infinity edge saltwater pool that directly overlooks Oak Creek and Sedona’s red rocks, along with upgrades to the resort’s restaurant, outdoor event space, fitness center and lobby.

Kimpton plans further renovations, though the details and the timing have not yet been announced.
