Extell Development Company is partnering with IHG’s Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants for a hotel in Manhattan’s Diamond District. Marking the brand’s third hotel in the market, Kimpton Rockefeller Center is set to open in late 2025, joining Kimpton Hotel Theta and Kimpton Hotel Eventi.

Located on 48th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, the 33-story hotel will feature 529 guest rooms and two full-service restaurants, a lobby lounge and a rooftop bar. Additional amenities will include a fitness center and two spaces to host meetings and social gatherings.
