KINDRED RESORT TO OPEN MAY 7, INTRODUCING CAMPFIRE LUXURY TO COLORADO

KEYSTONE, Colo. (May 6, 2026) - Kindred Resort opens to the public on Thursday, May 7, 2026 as Keystone's first luxury hotel and the newest addition to the RockResorts® collection. The ski-in/ski-out development, which includes 107 guest rooms, 95 luxury residences and a private club access, was designed to bring more vibrancy to the River Run Village base area at a top family destination in the Colorado Rockies. At its center is a "Campfire Luxury" concept built around connection, community and seamless mountain access.

"Keystone Resort is a mountain that immerses visitors in every season, from skiing and snow tubing in winter to the festivals, biking, and golf in summer. With Kindred, we've finally built a luxury home base to match. Opening in May puts us right at the start of some of the high country's best months, and we can't wait to welcome guests to the fire pits, the restaurants, and everything the mountain has to offer," said Dan Dohner, General Manager of Kindred Resort.

"Colorado is our home, and we had a special opportunity to create a legacy project and give back to our community. We wanted to build more than a real estate development, we wanted to build a gathering spot that welcomes our community. Opening with nearly 95 percent of our residences sold, we're thrilled by the response and excited to open the doors and raise the bar," said Ryan Geller, Partner with Kindred Development Team.

Slopeside Luxury
Kindred Resort sits steps from the River Run Gondola, and is shaped by the landscape and spirit of the Mountain West. But physical access is only part of it. The property is designed to inspire connections, with professional storytellers at the fire pits, communal programming rooted in Colorado heritage, and luxurious spaces designed to bring guests together.
