KEANE TEAM EXPERIENCE
KIMPTON ATLÁNTICO
F&B VENUES
Algarve, Portugal | F&B Concepting • Branding
The opening of Kimpton Atlántico in May marks Kimpton’s debut in the Portuguese market, further expanding IHG’s luxury-lifestyle portfolio in Europe following previous launches in Mallorca and Los Monteros, Marbella.
Kimpton Atlántico redefines the Algarve’s resort landscape, shifting away from traditional transient and corporate five-star offerings toward a bold, design-led, wellness-focused lifestyle experience. Our Executive Team was tasked with leading the F&B transformation, positioning the outlets as key drivers of guest engagement across the property — from a welcoming lobby café to pop-ups along the beach and a rooftop bar designed to capture the sunset experience.
Sombra Speciality Restaurant
Creating an environment and experience that allows the freshest and most local ingredients to shine is the focus of this exercise in culinary restraint. Sombra’s team of experienced chefs will work with fisherman from the region to procure the best seafood of the day and season, allowing their catch to be the star through preparations that are minimal in their methods.
Artisan Café
The ARTISAN food and beverage program will be designed and executed to seamlessly mimic the overall environment of the lobby; inviting, stylish, calming, and playful. Guests will be treated to an arrival experience that will set the tone for their entire stay via simply prepared, executed, and presented small plates that provide a glimpse of the other restaurants and bars of the property.
