The Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group is a hospitality brand headquartered in San Francisco, California, owned by IHG Hotels & Resorts since 2015.

Overview

Established in 1981 by Bill Kimpton and currently overseen by CEO Mike DeFrino, the group was recognized as the largest collection of boutique hotels in the United States by 2011. As of January 2024, the portfolio includes 81 hotels globally, with several additional locations announced.[1] Growth plans encompass cities such as Indianapolis, Los Angeles,[2] Paris, Barcelona, Charlottesville,[3] Frankfurt, Grenada, Bali, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong,[4] Rotterdam,[5] and Sanya.[6]

While most Kimpton properties maintain unique boutique identities, the company introduced two sub-brands in 2005: Hotel Palomar and Hotel Monaco. Each location typically includes high-end dining venues or bars as part of its offerings. In 2020, Fortune placed Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants tenth on its Top 100 Companies to Work For list, reflecting strong employee satisfaction.[7] Additionally, the company operates hotels owned by third parties under management agreements.

On December 16, 2014, IHG declared its purchase of Kimpton for $430 million in cash, maintaining the brand name within the United States and focusing on expanding internationally.[8] Subsequent to the acquisition, seven out of nine Kimpton hotels located in San Francisco left the brand in July 2015.

The Kimpton Gay and Lesbian Employee Network (K-GLEN), which has representatives across the country, offers guidance on employee matters and outreach efforts. Consistently acknowledged as a leading employer for LGBT individuals by The Advocate, the company has maintained a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index since 2005.
