The Kimpton Mirador caps more than a decade of failed development on a contested downtown Pacific Grove site: an earlier 275-room hotel proposed by local businessman Nader Agha was reworked into the smaller Hotel Durell before Kimpton bought the site in 2020. The 99-room, four-story Spanish Revival hotel, named Mirador (Spanish for 'lookout') for its Monterey Peninsula views, finally opened in January 2026.

About Kimpton Mirador Pacific Grove Monterey

History

The Kimpton Mirador Pacific Grove Monterey is a newly built boutique hotel on California's Monterey Peninsula, occupying a long-contested site in downtown Pacific Grove across from the Pacific Grove Public Library. The property caps a decade-plus of development efforts: an earlier vision called for a 275-room hotel proposed by local businessman Nader Agha, which was later reworked as the smaller Hotel Durell before Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants acquired the site in 2020.

Designed in a Spanish Revival idiom — its name, Spanish for "lookout" or "belvedere," nods to the coastal setting — the four-story, 99-room hotel was approved by the Pacific Grove City Council in 2022 and opened in January 2026 as an IHG Kimpton property, bringing an upscale lifestyle hotel to the historically bed-and-breakfast-oriented seaside town.
