Never mind the toothbrush or razor, as part of its popular ‘Forgot It? We’ve Got It!’ program, Kimpton Hotels guests will now have complimentary access to seasonal accessories – from sunglasses to purses and belts – during their stay at participating US properties this summers.
Kimpton, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts luxury and lifestyle portfolio, and lifestyle retailer Anthropologie have partnered to introduce a collection of stylish, seasonal accessories to help alleviate packing stress. The hand-selected items are available for Kimpton guests to borrow on a complimentary basis at participating hotels in the US beginning Aug. 1 with plans to roll out to additional Kimpton hotels later this year.
Citing a recent survey, Kimpton notes that over half (56%) of travellers say they experience stress when trying to replace forgotten items while on a trip, with 62% saying that their relaxation is impacted when they must replace or retrieve something they forgot.
With this in mind Kimpton says the program is designed to ease packing anxieties and ensure guests feel their best when travelling, and at the same encouraging guests to “play with their personal style and put the finishing touch on a look without the worry of mispacking or forgetting an item.”
Items to borrow include:
• Faux Leather Twist-Handle Satchel
• Buckle Shoulder Bag
• Woven Leather Shoulder Bag
• The Blake Belt
• Resin Square Chain Belt
• Tinted Aviator Sunglasses
• I-SEA Rosey Polarized Sunglasses
• Geometric Sunglasses
“Kimpton is a brand known for its thoughtful perks and unique personal touches that enhance the guest experience and leave lasting impressions,” says Kathleen Reidenbach, SVP of Marketing and Commercial for IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Americas and Kimpton Global. “Knowing accessories are often the first items to get cut or overlooked while packing, this partnership and accessories collection with Anthropologie provides guests with a chic solution in the event they’ve forgotten that perfect clutch or great pair of sunglasses or want to add a little extra something special to their style or seasonal look – whether it’s for a weekend getaway, business meeting, rooftop concert or night out.”
At participating hotels, guests will have access to Anthropologie’s virtual storefront of the items curated with Kimpton. The first seasonal collection kicks off with a summer edit featuring purses, sunglasses, and belts. Those looking for a “stylish step-up” will borrow one of the accessories from the hotel’s front desk and return it at any time during their stay, entirely complimentary. If they fall in love with a piece, guests have the option to purchase directly on Anthropologie.com through the virtual storefront.
Kimpton’s Forgot It? We’ve Got It! Anthropologie Accessories Collection will be curated seasonally by Anthropologie’s stylists to offer guests new and trending fashion pieces to borrow while staying on property.
