Based on this article, its 149 rooms and located near Vendome/Opera. Looking at a map, its ironically one block over from the Intercontinental Paris Le Grand. http://www.boutiquedesign.com/conten...on-heads-paris

Also according to the article, it sounds like the European properties are going to be flagged as "Kimpton" so it looks like IHG's plan is for Kimpton to become a brand?

Linked from the Boutiqueddesign article I hadn't seen it before but the Amsterdam property is actually just going to be IHG reflagging a Crown Plaza into a Kimpton. Hmm so it looks like this is how IHG is going to "integrate" Kimpton?
