Kimpton hotels occupy new-builds through to mixed-use developments and historic landmarks, spanning everything from grand spaces to intimate havens. In essence, Kimpton aims to be the home from home you never even knew you needed. Thanks to its operational strengths, restaurant expertise, and luxury hospitality ingenuity, Kimpton has grown from its humble roots in San Francisco in 1981 to be one of the leading upscale boutique groups in the world. And breaking records is nothing new for this trend-setting hotel brand.Kimpton lays claim to being the USA’s first boutique hotel and restaurant company, and it still offers hosted evening wine hours at its hotels to this day. If you appreciate a hospitality company that genuinely cares about its team members, you’ll be glad to know that Kimpton has been named one of the “100 Best Companies to Work for” on more than one occasion. The hotel group’s social values extend to the wider community as well as its staff, as exemplified by the fact that all its hotels are Green Key and IHG Green Engage certified.

Kimpton’s diversity, equality, and inclusion initiatives have been compounded since the hotel group became a member of IHG Hotels & Resorts, which – according to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index – has been one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality for the 8th consecutive year in the USA and for the first time in Mexico. The past few years have seen IHG achieve tremendous results in Latin America. For example, in 2021, IHG delivered Conscious Inclusion learning across its MLAC region. It has also recently championed “Travel Proud” hospitality training sessions, started an annual Global Inclusion Week, created a new Pride logo, and much more.Besides its work with IHG, Kimpton has taken a leading role in a variety of local and national initiatives. Notably, Kimpton has been made the National Hotel Partner of The Trevor Project, which is on a mission to end suicide among the LGBTQ+ youth. Fundraising efforts include Kimpton’s BRUNCH OUT events, where you can enjoy delicious bites while watching local drag queen shows.
