Kimpton Launches ‘The Curious Palate’ Food and Drink Program Across Its Hotels
Kimpton Hotels, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, has launched a global food and drink platform called The Curious Palate by Kimpton. The Oct 22, 2026 release describes six storylines (flavor, technique, locale, service, tabletop design and format) that each hotel adapts to its own city (checked Oct 25, 2026).
The first dinner under the banner was held at Kimpton Mirador Pacific Grove in Monterey, California, with chefs and bar experts from Kimpton hotels in cities including Tokyo, Bangkok, Barcelona, Riyadh, Edinburgh and Grand Cayman.
The offers worth knowing
- Gather 'Round holiday cocktail: part of Kimpton's festive offerings from Nov 27, 2026 through Feb 28, 2027 at all North American Kimpton hotels and most others worldwide.

What to do
This is a dining program, not a rewards change: the release ties it to booking through Kimpton and the IHG One Rewards app but announces no new points earning. If you are staying at a Kimpton this winter, check the hotel's own page for which offers are running, since each property sets its own. Details are as of Oct 25, 2026; confirm on the hotel's page before you go.
Kimpton lists 90 properties, with 67 more due to open.
