I
completed a wonderful stay at the Harbor Court Hotel in San Francisco about a
month ago. Harbor Court is a Kimpton Hotel, which are all boutique hotels. I've
always been very impressed with Kimpton hotels' hospitality, loyalty program
and perks.
Few
of the perks....
- I've stayed at 3 different Kimpton Hotels before and all have a complimentary happy hour for guests, including beer, wine and snacks. This is really nice to come back to after a long day of work. They also always have lemon and/or orange flavored water and coffee in the lobby in the AM.
- Once you join their free loyalty program, Kimpton inTouch Loyalty, you automatically get free in room WIFI (it's hard to believe some hotels still charge for this) and $10 worth of goodies from the mini bar. This stay I opted for 2 water bottles, but next time I'm going for the wine.
- At Harbor Court in SF, they have bikes you can check out and use to explore the city. They are also usually pet friendly. I don’t have a pet, but could see this being a huge plus if I was pet owner.
Last
year my husband and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary in Chicago. We made
reservations at the Palomar hotel and of course, I tweeted about it. We were
out and about in the city and when we came back at night we had a lovely
surprise, chocolate cover strawberries and champagne! The hotel staff left a
really sweet note wishing us a happy anniversary.
Kimpton
hotels do a really great job at making you feel ‘at home’ in a big city. They
have locations in several big cities, including Boston, Chicago, SF and Miami. If
they are an option for your next trip, I highly recommend checking them out!
