SACRAMENTO
The Sacramento Kings and JMA Ventures, LLC announced a new partnership with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants for the proposed hotel adjacent to the Entertainment and Sports Center (ESC).
The San Francisco-based chain will operate the hotel, becoming a landmark first Kimpton-branded property in the Sacramento region. The partnership between the Kings and Kimpton will aim to provide visitors with an unparalleled experience, a combination offering premium service and comfort together with civic, sports and entertainment options.
"Securing a world-renowned brand like Kimpton builds momentum for the project and the entire Sacramento region," said Kings Chairman and Owner Vivek Ranadivé. "One of our top priorities has been to ensure the arena and its supported businesses reflect Sacramento's dynamic culture. Many hotel brands submitted proposals, but we ultimately felt that Kimpton was best-suited to help us deliver stellar hospitality anchored in inspiring design, unique style of branding and thoughtful amenities."
The proposed 16-story mixed-use high-rise tower that would house the 250-room hotel is scheduled to open with the new ESC in the fall of 2016.
