We’re not perfect, but we’re proud to say our score on Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index for LGBTQ-inclusive workplace policies and practices is. Sorry if that sounded braggy, but we’re just oh-so proud to announce that Kimpton has once again earned the distinction of being a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ equality for the 16th year. Since our founding over three decades ago, we have believed that all employees deserve the opportunity to live authentically and thrive at work. A huge and heartfelt shout out to all of our employees who made this possible by choosing love and acceptance every single day. #CEI2021

This year as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, the world looks different. We've seen people from around the world come together to stand up for racial equality, have difficult conversations about systemic racism, and have a look at their own communities to see where they can make a change. Celebrating the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this year is important, maybe more so than ever before. Our hotels and restaurants are honoring his legacy in many ways, from installations by Black artists in our lobbies to restaurant specials that benefit the National Urban League. We’re proud of the creative ideas they’ve put into motion today. This mixed media mannequin piece is called “Fertility Goddess” by artist Annick Duvivier, and it is being featured along with pieces from other Black artists at our hotels in Miami this weekend.

PRIDE from Home. It's like work from home, but infinitely more celebratory. Even though we're sad we can't be together like we usually are, we're still celebrating our authentic, amazing selves.
You know what they say… hindsight is 20/20. This was the year we hit pause, readjusted, recalibrated, and embarked on a giant reset. It was truly a year like no other. With 2020 almost in the rearview mirror, there’s no better time to redirect your attention towards what’s to come.
We alwayyyysss love hosting weddings, but when a small, safe wedding that took place during a pandemic gets featured in the New York Times, we really get the warm fuzzies. Take a look at the link to read Monica & Will's love story and learn how their unique careers, experiences, and upbringings shaped them into the awesome, accomplished people they are today. Monica and Will have rolled with some serious punches in 2020 - their wedding year - including a global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, both of which weighed heavily on them. Despite many obstacles, this power duo overcame and hosted a wedding at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Chicago that was simultaneously very safe and incredibly special; One that reflected who they are as both individuals and a couple. We hope you like reading their story in the @nytimes as much as we did.

Proud to share that Kimpton has made FORTUNE’S list of Best Companies to Work For - for Women. Here’s the story of one of those amazing women, Carolina Pino, our Director of Sales + Marketing at Hotel Palomar Philadelphia: “I'm originally from Venezuela and have been living in the US for 20 years.

I have worked for Kimpton for 10 years now, first in Seattle and now in Philadelphia, and I’m grateful for the growth opportunities I’ve had during this ride. I have a passion for the boutique hotel world and what it represents to me: beautiful/inspiring settings, curated experiences, personalized service, forward thinking, creativity. I have the honor of spearheading the sales efforts at the Palomar Philadelphia along with an incredible leadership team, many of them women, including my chief partner in crime, our incredible General Manager and (cheer)leader, Carol Watson.
