Planit Meetings travelers receive discounted rates at Kimpton hotels across the US



Cypress Hotel in Cupertino, CA
Because the Kimpton brand has been a longtime favorite of Planit Meetings, we are excited to be able to offer our individual travelers discounted rates at Kimpton hotels across the US.

Epic Hotel in Miami
If you're not familiar with the Kimptons...The Kimpton brand was founded in San Francisco in 1981 by Bill Kimpton, who was one of the originators of the boutique hotel concept. His idea was a collection of one-of-a-kind luxury hotels and restaurants, usually created from architecturally interesting  recycled buildings, with a theme unique to the hotel and location.  Currently, Kimptons are located in 16 states, including Washington, DC. With every hotel having its own identity, individuals can discover a Kimpton that suits their styles.

Ink 48 NYC
One reason that Planit Meetings loves Kimpton hotls is because of their EarthCare, environmental consciousness and social responsibility. Kimpton hotels are among the most reliably cleanest and most luxurious of any hotel brand. Further, the Kimptons honor diversity.

Other reasons we love the Kimpton brand:
Hosted evening wine hours, with opportunity to try local wines
In-room spa services
Grand Hotel in Minneapolis
The most comprehensive inventory of forgot-to-bring items like computer or mobile chargers, contact lens solution, available free or for a nominal fee, at hotel front desks, 24/7
