Kimpton introduces Stay Human Concierges & experiential packages across global properties to suit diverse travel styles
10 February 2023
Kimpton’s Stay Human packages have been directly informed by real insights from the brand’s recent global consumer survey, which found that 85% of respondents want travel brands to do more to feature inclusive and diverse experiences that cater to all audiences.
In response to the survey findings, Kimpton launched its first global Stay Human campaign in December 2022, which announced the first-of-its-kind Stay Human Creator Collective and Kimpton’s evolved brand commitments to transform its social media content.
Kathleen Reidenbach, Kimpton’s Chief Commercial Offer, said: “Kimpton has always been rooted in human connection and delivering experiences that meet the needs of every kind of traveler. Today, we are taking action to directly address an area of opportunity that consumers uncovered – the travel industry can do more to cater to the diverse needs of travelers – with bespoke experiences at our hotels that allow our guests to chart their own course and be their most authentic selves when they stay with us. These offerings are just the beginning as we continue to bring Kimpton’s evolved brand commitments to life and change the way we work with creators, the imagery we share and the experiences we offer."
Stay Human Packages
As part of the Stay Human packages, participating Kimpton hotels have each developed a selection of bookable a la carte experiences. Starting today, guests can work with a hotel’s designated Stay Human Concierge on-property to select from its experiences menu, curating a stay that is uniquely their own.
With everything from on-demand elixir shots and private perfumery classes to sound bath healings and Thai boxing classes, the Stay Human packages offer a diverse range of experiences that are anything but conventional. Participating Kimpton properties include:u
