10 December 2020 InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed its first luxury hotel in Mallorca, under the Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants brand. When it opens in 2022, Kimpton Mallorca will further expand the IHG presence in Spain, following the launch of Kimpton Vividora Hotel in Barcelona earlier this year. The hotel will operate under a management agreement with Calvia Country Club. The 79-room luxury boutique hotel will be nestled next to one of the island’s most renowned golf courses, Santa Ponsa Golf, on the site of the existing Santa Ponsa Country Club. The site will undergo a major refurbishment and extension to bring Kimpton’s inspired design to life against the backdrop of hills and treelined lanes that criss-cross the south-west of the island.
