Kimpton Hotels

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, founded in 1981 by Bill Kimpton, is a San Francisco-based boutique hotel and restaurant brand that pioneered the concept of unique, design-forward accommodations in the United States. Acquired by InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) in 2015, Kimpton has expanded its portfolio to include over 75 hotels and more than 90 restaurants, bars, and lounges across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Each Kimpton property is characterized by its distinctive design, personalized service, and commitment to providing guests with memorable experiences. The brand's hotels are known for their bold, playful aesthetics and locally inspired décor, reflecting the unique culture and vibe of their respective locations.

Amenities often include complimentary Wi-Fi, evening wine hours, and pet-friendly policies, ensuring a welcoming environment for all guests.

In addition to accommodations, Kimpton operates a diverse array of dining venues, ranging from casual eateries to upscale restaurants.
