Kimpton builds on-and evolves-its legacy

In 2009, when Ave Bradley joined Kimpton
Hotels & Restaurants, the brand was known for
its bold guestrooms and public spaces. Bradley,
now creative director and global senior vice
president of design, has spent the last 12 years
evolving the Kimpton personality while staying
true to founder Bill Kimpton's original vision for a
portfolio of distinctive hotels.
A pioneer of the boutique hotel movement,
Kimpton opened the Clarion Bedford in San

Francisco in 1981, introducing innovations like
a complimentary wine hour. A few years later,
he unveiled the city's Hotel Vintage Court and
partnered with Wolfgang Puck to launch what
is often considered the first celebrity chef hotel
restaurant, Postrio at the Prescott. By 1991,
Kimpton had expanded beyond San Francisco to
Portland, Oregon. Soon, the rest of the country
was graced with its inventive hotels.
Mindful of Kimpton's human-centered
approach to hospitality, Bradley, who had
worked as director of interiors and brand
development for W Hotels prior, wanted to
preserve the spirit that had defined Kimpton
for decades yet balance and infuse it with chic,
more modern interiors rooted in their locales.

" We shifted the point of view. We are a bit
more restrained and less literal in our storytelling
and not knocking people over the head with it, "
explains Bradley. " We're not a brand with a single
aesthetic thread, which gives us the opportunity
to be thoughtful about each project we take on. "
Tapping into the history of the buildings
is as important to the design narrative as is the
relationship and interaction to the surrounding
neighborhood. Consider the lushly landscaped
Winslow's Bungalows, one of the five Old Town
properties comprising the recently completed
Key West property in Florida (crafted by Los
Angeles firm Powerstrip Studio) or the 1941 Art
Deco National Guard building that is home to the
Kimpton Armory Hotel Bozeman in Montana,

A glittering chandelier, dramatic wallpaper, and arches
define the Tavernist restaurant inside the Neri&Hudesigned Kimpton Da An Hotel in Taipei
