Kimpton, part of IHG’s fast-growing luxury and lifestyle portfolio, celebrates the signing of Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas in Paradise Valley, Ariz., a scenic desert and mountain enclave east of Phoenix. The resort will become the first branded IHG luxury and lifestyle property in the Paradise Valley/Scottsdale market upon its planned early 2026 opening, and take shape through a significant reimagination of an existing spacious 42-acre retreat.

For those seeking an elevated desert getaway, Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas will feature a host of dedicated areas and amenities that promote personal reconnection and spark a renewed sense of wonder. The resort’s state-of-the-art fitness center and access to nearby hiking trails will appeal to active travelers, with ample relaxation opportunities likewise available among its six onsite swimming pools, salon and day spa. Guests can enjoy unexpected perks and signature Kimpton brand touches throughout their stay, including complimentary bike rentals for local exploration, in-room yoga mats for accessible anytime wellness, nourishment and energy at the Kimpton Kickstart morning coffee and tea service and evening Kimpton Social Hour, and the signature “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program which provides must-have travel items or accessories to borrow.
Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas will offer a variety of fresh fare in line with the brand’s emphasis on pairing “must visit” hotels and resorts with destination restaurant and bar offerings beloved by guests and locals alike. Developed in partnership with leading lifestyle hospitality group sbe, the resort’s four planned food and beverage offerings include a modern, approachable restaurant helmed by a celebrated culinary talent.
Leanne Harwood, SVP, Managing Director, Luxury, Lifestyle & Managed Hotels, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Kimpton’s rich legacy and unique approach to luxury lifestyle are a natural fit for suburban Phoenix, which remains one of the fastest growing U.S. metropolitan areas and a haven for both business meetings and travelers seeking connection with the beautiful surroundings.
