Johan Scheepers

Scheepers joins the Kimpton property with experience from a number of hotels within the IHG portfolio, most recently Intercontinental The George after a rebrand investment in October 2019.

Prior to that, he took on the role of opening general manager at the Principal Charlotte Square following the completion of a £25 million refurbishment.

The hotel will reopen on 1 October, joining Kimpton London Fitzroy, Kimpton Blythswood Square in Glasgow, and Kimpton Charlotte Square in Edinburgh.

It features 270 loft-style rooms including 11 suites, all with in-room yoga mats and complimentary tuck boxes of treats. Other amenities include The Winter Garden (an interior glasshouse), The Refuge by Volta (a bar and restaurant); and 17 meeting rooms.
