Directeur du marketing & Communications

Why We’re Here

We believe heartfelt, human connections make people’s lives better.  Especially the people who work here.

Our founder, Bill Kimpton rebelled against impersonal, genetic hospitality that makes people feel disconnected.  He initiated a new boutique hotel standard and environment where people could connect, from the heart.  That was the goal then, and it is still our purpose today.

Your work here has meaning.  You’re here to improve the lives of coworkers, guests, owners, communities, and together we make that happen.  It’s what drives all that we do.  Every day you can improve lives in your own, unique way and you can expect the same in return.  It all starts with you.
