Why we love Kimpton's bonus points deals -- here's the latest
The cards we feature here are from partners who compensate us when you are approved through our site, and this may impact how or where these products appear. We don’t cover all available credit cards, but our analysis, reviews, and opinions are entirely from our editorial team. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page.

Kimpton is probably IHG's most exciting brand at the moment. Its properties are in places you want to visit, like Grand Cayman and Austin, and the brand likes to have fun. Just think about its cool secret password that can lead to some extra benefits -- such as a bottle of wine, in-room movie and snacks, breakfast vouchers or free parking -- when you check in and use the special word or phrase.
And, just for being an IHG Rewards Club Gold elite or higher, you can "raid the minibar" at all Kimpton locations. (The credit is $10 at all properties with the exception of NYC hotels that boost the credit to $15.) Plus, Wi-Fi is free, each hotel hosts a nightly wine hour and there's free coffee and tea in the morning. Heck, you'll even find a yoga mat in every room.
