Kimpton loyalty pays SO YOU CAN PLAY

Guests Rack Up Rewards and Personalized Perks with New Kimpton InTouch Offers

 

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., October 14, 2009 – Starting now, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants is offering frequent guests three new ways to personalize their visits through its free-to-join Kimpton InTouch loyalty program.  While InTouch members can accrue complimentary nights at any of Kimpton’s 47 hotels in the United States, the real deal for loyalists lies beyond points, like those offered at many mainstream hotel companies.  Instead, Kimpton guests are treated to customized experiences based on individual preferences – treats that can range from a favorite magazine upon turndown to arranging for a well-deserved in-room massage upon arrival.  In addition to exclusive deals and rates, travelers now enjoy the following members-only offers: 

“In today’s stressful travel climate, we want to reward our loyal guests with extra ways to relax

and unwind that won’t break the bank,” said Niki Leondakis, chief operating officer, Kimpton

Hotels & Restaurants.  “Kimpton InTouch goes beyond standard loyalty programs by allowing guests to choose the thoughtful rewards and personalized amenities that mean the most to them, whether that is a complimentary stay, pampering massage or an indulgent bedtime snack.”

 

Kimpton InTouch members often enjoy unique perks and amenities, exclusive sales and promotions, complimentary nights following repeat stays and can even personalize their room preferences by requesting nearly anything to make them more comfortable on the road.  Guests can also earn Inner Circle status after just 15 visits or 45 total nights to receive VIP treatment.  Membership to Kimpton InTouch is always free and travelers can visit http://www.kimptonhotels.com/intouch/KIT_overview.aspx  to join and sign up to receive the special email offers coming later this month.
