Grand Hotel

The Kimpton Hotel by IHG Hotels & Resorts will be located at 157 Grand Ave., a property also bordered by Fountain and Central avenues that was most recently home to a Mexican restaurant, a benefit shop and an animal adoption center until they all vacated the property in late 2022. The old building will be demolished to make way for the hotel, which will have four floors.

“With 95,263 square feet spread across four stories, it will offer 102 guest rooms and redefine luxury hospitality in the region.” IHG Hotels & Resorts, otherwise known as InterContinental Hotels Group, also owns the oceanfront Clement Monterey hotel on Cannery Row.
