Kimpton Hotels is a collective of 60 boutique hotels and 70 restaurants and bars across the U.S. The hotels and restaurants provide the traveler a chance to experience the local cultures and community. We noticed the following press release on the Kimpton hotels in NYC’s program with the Mile High Run Club. A great idea to combines a nice weekend of fun in the Big Apple, workouts over two days and some fun meals and perhaps, cocktails, in a very cool bar, as well as two nights in the unique hotels that are the Kimpton Hotel group!
