OUR CULTURE - What It’s Like to Work Here

Refreshingly Human.

That’s how we describe the Kimpton culture. Not a tagline — a way of being. It’s what you’ll feel the moment you walk through our doors, and it’s what keeps our teams coming back.

Kimpton founder Bill Kimpton believed one thing above all else: hire the right people and get out of the way. From day one, this brand was built on empowerment — giving people the freedom to be creative, take chances, learn from mistakes, and do what’s right. That vision sparked something special in 1981, and it still runs through everything we do across 80+ hotels worldwide.

If that sounds like the kind of place you’ve been looking for — read on.

Be 100% You

If you join us, you won’t be asked to leave yourself at the door. Your quirks, your tattoos, your accent, your personal style — all of it is not just welcome here, it’s celebrated. Being professional at Kimpton doesn’t mean being a clone. It means showing up as your full, authentic self and doing the work with your own flair.

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.

INCLUSION & BELONGING

A culture this special only works when everyone feels they belong in it. We’re committed to building a workplace where every person feels seen, heard, and valued — and where differences aren’t just accepted, they’re what make us better. We proudly welcome candidates of all races, ethnicities, ages, religions, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and backgrounds.
