Oof, this ROOM, people. I *still* think about it, two months later. A few years back, Kimpton was brought into the IHG family...and they brought me along with them. Previously, I just stayed wherever for work and play. When I checked into this room at Kimpton’s The Gray in Chicago, I have never been more honored to be a part of such a stellar rewards program. Being a Diamond Elite member affords me... ✨BUTT-KICKING UPGRADES: I was awarded a king suite for a room that was paid for using rewards points. I paid for a regular king room with points (ie: I didn’t pay anything at all), and I was *still* given this beyond amazing upgrade. IHG loves loyalty, and it shows with moves like this. ✨PERSONAL TOUCHES: A hand written card and sweets is one of the fastest ways to my heart. IHG brands like Kimpton and InterContinental have both left me little love notes, and it means the world to me and keeps me coming back for more. They don’t have to treat guests this way, but it’s so nice that they do. ✨THE AMENITIES: From the spacious bathrooms at the Kimpton that features AltelierBloem toiletries to the Pancake Robot at the local Holiday Inn Express, IHG guests receive only the best and coolest amenities during their stays. This isn’t an ad...this is just love for a business I love. If you haven’t joined the club yet, I highly recommend signing up. You won’t regret it, not for one minute. #IHG #ihg #ihghotels #IHGRewards #IHGOneRewards #ihgrewardsclub #ihgcelebrateservice #kimpton #kimptonlove #KimptonHotels #KimptonMoments #kimptonseafire #kimptongrayhotel #diamondelite #traveler #WomenWhoTravel #WomenWhoExplore #womenwhowander #wanderer #LonelyPLanet #Solotraveler #seetheworld #BookTheRoom
