Hyatt vs Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants Franchise Comparison

An upscale select service hotel with a modern attitude. Designed for multi-tasking travelers seeking a select service hotel, Hyatt Place properties offer smart design and a relaxed setting with a 24/7 guest kitchen and grab n go case. Located in urban, airport and suburban areas, Hyatt Place features casual hospitality in a contemporary, technology-enabled environment. Sixteen new Hyatt Place hotels opened in North America in 2010 and more than 30 are under development in the U.S., India, Panama, Costa Rica and the Netherlands.

That’s why FORTUNE magazine has put  Kimpton on its “Best Companies To Work For” list nine times. It’s why we score 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index every year. Our guests feel it too - it’s why we’re consistently ranked as a best-loved hospitality company. Our thriving company culture, numerous hospitality career tracks, and rich benefits and perks also make us one of the best places to work. We take care of all of our people with great benefits, like paid time off; medical, dental, and vision plans; life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance; 401(k) with employer matching; 6 weeks paid paternity/maternity leave; back-up child and elder care; robust professional and personal development through our own  Kimpton University; and employee discounts at our 60+ hotels nationwide.

Plus, we throw in some extra Kimpton-style perks, like wellness programs and, of course, pet insurance. We’re a best place to work because we’re driven by our passion for unscripted, heartfelt care. From the first whirl of a hula hoop at your employee orientation (yes, it happens) to every  Kimpton Moment thereafter, you’re going to love it here as much as our guests do.
