This Famous Boutique Hotel Brand Is About to Open Its First-Ever All-Inclusive — and Reservations Just Went Live

Kimpton Tres Rios Riviera Maya is officially accepting reservations for stays beginning September 22, 2026, marking the long-awaited debut of IHG's boutique lifestyle brand in the all-inclusive space.

The property, located on a stretch of coastline in the Riviera Maya south of Cancun, has been through multiple delays since it was first announced. But with bookings now live on IHG's website, the resort appears to finally be on track for a fall opening.

The resort will feature four swimming pools, swim-up rooms, and multiple dining venues — a setup designed to compete directly with the wave of upscale all-inclusives flooding Mexico's Caribbean coast. Kimpton is positioning the property as a design-forward alternative to the larger chain resorts in the area, leaning into the boutique sensibility the brand is known for at its city hotels.

Why It Matters

The Riviera Maya is one of the most competitive all-inclusive corridors in the world, and the arrival of a brand like Kimpton signals how far the format has moved from its budget-buffet origins. IHG joins Hyatt, Marriott, and Hilton in staking out territory in the premium all-inclusive segment — a space that barely existed five years ago.

For IHG Rewards members, the opening adds a new redemption option in one of the Caribbean's most popular destinations. Kimpton's entry also gives the Riviera Maya its first true lifestyle-branded all-inclusive, filling a niche between the mega-resorts and smaller boutique properties.

The September 22 date places the opening at the start of the fall travel window, when the Riviera Maya typically sees a mix of value-focused demand and early bookings for winter travel.
