IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s largest hotel groups, has signed a management agreement with PT Mustika Adiperkasa and GHS K.K to introduce the first Kimpton in Indonesia. Set to open its doors in early 2026, Kimpton Bali Ubud will also be the first IHG hotel to open in Bali’s cultural heart of Ubud as IHG continues to expand its luxury & lifestyle presence across the country.
Kimpton, known internationally for its distinctive design, human hospitality, and immersive lifestyle experiences, has established a strong global presence across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Each Kimpton hotel and restaurant is designed to open the door to human connections through unexpected, personal touches that create meaningful and unscripted guest experiences.
Kimpton Bali Ubud will offer 101 thoughtfully designed rooms that reflect Kimpton’s signature style. Seamlessly integrated into Ubud’s lush natural landscape, the hotel is set along a revered stretch of the sacred WOS River, and it is rare to have an internationally-branded hotel located in the heart of the Ubud district within walking distance of Ubud Palace (Puri Saren Agung). Embracing the cultural and spiritual essence of Bali’s artistic heart, Kimpton Bali Ubud will provide guests with a serene and inspiring retreat, where nature and local heritage are woven into every detail.
With first class restaurant and bars, a centring point of the Kimpton experience, Kimpton Bali Ubud will also introduce the celebrated restaurant IMAMURA, in partnership with GHS K.K to bring the spirit of refined Japanese dining to the heart of Bali. Helmed by Michelin-starred Chef Imamura, the restaurant promises an unforgettable culinary journey — where every dish is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese artistry and modern innovation.
Satoru Kondo, President of GHS, K.K., said: “We’ve built a strong partnership with IHG with hotels across Japan and are excited to now further that relationship through the introduction of the Kimpton brand to Bali. As we continue to expand our existing portfolio, we value the strength of IHG’s brands and their commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. Kimpton’s distinctive style and heartfelt approach to hospitality align perfectly with our vision for this unique Ubud location.”
Rajit Sukumaran, SVP & Managing Director, East Asia & Pacific (EAPAC), IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “It’s great to continue to expand our partnership with GHS K.K. Kimpton Bali Ubud marks continued momentum in our luxury & lifestyle growth in Indonesia. The introduction of Kimpton will complement our strong Indonesian luxury & lifestyle portfolio of 10 fantastic hotels.
