Kimpton Supports the LGBT Community
Kimpton and its employees are very involved in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities both locally and nationally. Every year the company sponsors a Red Ribbon Campaign to generate awareness and funds for local HIV service agencies. Locally, Kimpton make donations to area LGBT charities and host events for local community groups at its facilities in the Washington metropolitan area.
Gay and lesbian travelers and employees have always been an important part of Kimpton Hotels.
The gay and lesbian community is a perfect fit for Kimpton. The hotels are known for their hip and unique environments and Kimpton understands the needs of LGBT travelers. In working with every guest, each employee instinctively portrays the five elements of Kimpton, "care, comfort, style, flavor and fun." Kimpton takes the time to train its front desk staff not to make assumptions but instead to offer choices, even in small personal ways.
Kimpton Supports its LGBT Employees
Kimpton's gay and lesbian employees are represented on every level of the company, including upper management. Kimpton formed K-GLEN, the Kimpton Gay and Lesbian Employee Network, to advise the company on personnel and community outreach concerns. The committee meets quarterly and has representation from every region of the country. Kimpton Hotels was included as one of the 10 best companies for gay and lesbian employees by The Advocate. In 2005, Kimpton received a 100 percent score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index, which evaluated LGBT personnel and community outreach activities. Kimpton will continue to be on the forefront of LGBT equality.
