Say This Phrase at Check-In for Free Hotel Perks

If you love hotel freebies and have a flair for the dramatic (or awkward), here’s a tip:

Say “Social sent me” at check-in at any Kimpton Hotel between now and August 31, and you’ll get a surprise perk—think free breakfast, parking, drinks, room upgrades, or a dining credit.

There’s no catch, no app to download, no loyalty hoops to jump through. Just say the magic words, and let the front desk work its magic.

Kimpton is part of the IHG family, which means you can stack this promotion with airline employee discounts offered at IHG hotels. If you haven’t checked those out yet, don’t miss our full breakdown here - IHG Airline Staff Discount Guide.

Kimpton is known for its stylish, personality-driven properties and welcoming, service-forward vibe. Each hotel has its own distinct character, often reflecting the local neighborhood through design, dining, and curated experiences.

While you’ll mostly find Kimpton properties in major U.S. cities like New York, Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles, they’re also expanding internationally with locations in cities like Amsterdam, Paris, and Bangkok. If you have a standby tripped planned to any of these locales, now’s your chance to enhance your stay this summer!
