Kimpton founder Bill Kimpton believed one thing above all else: hire the right people and get out of the way.

Be the Ultimate Host At Kimpton, you\’ll be empowered to act. To be creative. To read the room, anticipate what a guest needs before they ask, and do what you truly believe is right — without waiting for permission. We hire people we trust, and then we trust the people we hire. Spark Joy Beyond great service lives something more lasting: emotional impact. Spark Joy is about the moments guests carry with them long after checkout — the ones that make Kimpton feel different from anywhere else. You\’ll have the power to create those moments every single day.
