Today, when human connections matter more than ever, IHG Hotels & Resorts’ boutique luxury brand, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants launches the Kimpton Digital Guestbook in Australia, South East Asia and Korea – breathing new life into the art of storytelling.
The platform sparks creative expression through visuals and video, inviting travellers to share and exchange stories all bound together by the love of connection.
For a limited time, travellers can also win one of four ‘Ultimate Kimpton Experiences’ to reconnect in real time with unforgettable 10-night stays including Kimpton’s signature perks.
The Kimpton legacy is built on the ethos of delivering heartfelt human connections, believing that these connections make people’s lives better and that commonalities and connections exist between all people.
And while international travel may be on hold for some right now, others are returning to travel, or getting ready to pick up their suitcases and seek out new destinations once again.
The Digital Guestbook encapsulates this community of stories and allows people to uncover what cherished moments look like, what connections means to one another now, or simply a promise for the future ahead.
The collection launches with Kimpton stories from guest Creators – a selection of artists, travellers, creators and explorers – from Sydney to South Korea.
With colourful tales of togetherness from across the globe, the Kimpton Creators’ stories are available in the Guestbook and include Singapore’s DJ and producer, MYRNE and experimental illustrator, Andre Wee; Australia’s entrepreneur, Alyce Tran fashion and lifestyle influencer, Jasmin Howell photographer, Jarrad Seng and model and presenter, Christian Wilkins and in South Korea, artist Novo and fashion illustrator, Jaesuk Kim share their stories.
To celebrate brand new Kimpton hotels around the world and help create new human connection stories, the brand is giving away ‘Ultimate Kimpton Experiences’ to four lucky winners: an unforgettable 10-night adventure at participating Kimpton hotels in Sydney, Bali, Bangkok, Koh Samui or Paris, including a tailored itinerary* and all the signature Kimpton perks.
From 14 February to 13 March 2022, participants are invited to share about their most cherished heartfelt human connection moment on Instagram with the hashtag #KimptonStories. Find out more here.
