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

Our founder, Bill Kimpton rebelled against impersonal, generic 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.

Our San Francisco-born entrepreneurial spirit and zest for life kick started this culture in 1981, and it shines through to this day. It all flows from you. The lively, rebellious, genuine you— with your diverse background, talents, experiences, and plucky personality— is fully welcome, and celebrated here. Because we know that when people can be themselves at work, they shine.
