KIMPTON HOTELS are a top choice for gay travelers!

"Gay and lesbian travelers and employees have always been an important part of Kimpton Hotels.
The gay and lesbian community is a perfect fit for Kimpton. The hotels are known for their hip and
unique environments and Kimpton understands the needs of LGBT travelers. In working with every
guest, each employee instinctively portrays the five elements of Kimpton, "Care, comfort, style, flavor
and fun." We take the time to train our front desk staff not to make assumptions but instead to offer choices, even in small personal ways."

Pet friendly, free WIFI, complimentary wine hours, tall rooms, specialty suites, and hip flair, are what
 this hotel chain popular.

Kimpton is based in San Francisco, where you'll find the greatest number of the company's hotels
and restaurants (the restaurants are always inside hotels, and they're virtually always first-rate
dining destinations on their own, just as popular with nonguests as guests). In San Francisco, there
are nine hotels, plus another in nearby San Jose. Other cities with two or more Kimpton's include
Chicago (3), Boston/Cambridge (3), Dallas (2), New York City (2), Portland, OR (2), Seattle (3), and Washington, DC, which is second only to San Francisco with seven hotels.




Kimpton hotels and restaurants aren't geared to budget travelers, but they do offer plenty of value.
They don't target major conventions and meetings, and they typically offer much more limited meeting facilities than larger, corporate-oriented properties. What this means is that Kimpton puts its money
 into room decor and design, rather than massive convention facilities. They attract loyalty by making guests feel welcome, comfortable, and happy, rather than booking big group and package deals and providing a generic one-size-fits-all experience. You may spend $200 or more for a room at a typical Kimpton property, depending on the city, but you're likely to end up in a room with style and decor
that's far superior to that offered in major business hotels twice the size and sometimes twice as expensive. Another big plus is that Kimpton has some of the coolest and liveliest bars and restaurants
of any hotel group in the world - venues like Postrio at San Francisco's Prescott, Sazerac at Seattle's
 Hotel Monaco, and Firefly at Washington, DC's Hotel Madera enjoy vaunted culinary reputations.
