Rave Reviews Gay and lesbian guests as well as our employees have always been very important to Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. Starting in San Francisco in the 1980's, Kimpton has always recognized the important role the gay and lesbian community has played in the company. Right from the start, the hotels were known for their unique environments and the gay and lesbian community responded very favorably. In addition, we are very proud that Kimpton has always had a large number of gay and lesbian employees. Employee sensitivity training plays a key role at Kimpton hotels. In working with every guest, each employee instinctively portrays the five elements that are the essence of Kimpton - "care, comfort, style, flavor and fun." We take the time to train our staff not to make assumptions but instead to offer choices, even in small personal ways. Just check out our Rave Reviews to better understand how Kimpton understands the needs of LGBT community and how our guests value our efforts.
Kimpton Supports its LGBT EmployeesKimpton's gay and lesbian employees are represented on every level of the company, including upper management. Kimpton's outreach to the community is coordinated through KGLEN, the Kimpton Gay and Lesbian Employee Network. This committee of over 50 Kimpton employees works together to advise company on personnel policies, build and support the community outreach program, oversee the marketing program and represent Kimpton at key LGBT events and trade shows. Something we are very proud of is that Kimpton was the very first hotel company to achieve a 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index. We have continued to receive this rating for the last five years - and Kimpton will continue to be on the forefront to work LGBT equality. 
Kimpton and Business TravelKimpton and business travel have always been closely associated. Kimpton understands your need for a functional environment for business by day and a comfortable atmosphere for fun by night. From offering complimentary WiFi in your room to a concierge that you can always feel comfortable asking questions about the gay scene, Kimpton understands the needs of LGBT business travelers. Kimpton is a sponsor of the National Lesbian and Gay Chamber of Commerce. 
Unique Flavor Attractive to Gay and Lesbian TravelersPut simply - we feel our hotels are unique like you. We treat our guests like extended family, and work to ensure that all guests, including LGBT travelers, have memorable stays. Some of our unique programs, such as our yoga and pet-friendly programs also have great appeal to the LGBT community. Most properties have excellent partner restaurants that are all locally loved and chef-driven. We pride ourselves on delivering extraordinary care and comfort to every guest. To become part of the Kimpton Family, join Kimpton InTouch and be sure to check the gay and lesbian interest box. 
Kimpton Supports the LGBT CommunityKimpton and its employees are very involved in the LGBT Community. Both the national brand and local hotels make cash contributions and room night donations to dozens of LGBT charities across the country. We also host events for national and local community groups. For example, we are national sponsors of Parents and Friends of Lesbian and Gays, National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association, GALA Choruses and the Mautner Project, just to name a few. In addition we support the fundraising efforts of hundreds of nonprofits by giving silent auction gift certificates. From regional HRC events to your local HIV charity, Kimpton's staff is involved in the local LGBT community. If your group is interested in learning more, contact lgbtsupport@kimptonhotels.com.
