In May 2018, we stayed with the Kimpton Hotels chain for the first time.

The hotel was really impressive. Check out my review of the Kimpton Monaco Philadelphia here. (BTW- We booked a stay at the hotel thanks to my IHG Anniversary Free Night.)

During our Kimpton stay, we received a jerky IHG Rewards Club Elite Benefit. At check-in I said the social password. Due to this, we ordered room service at a hotel for the first time!

Since this stay I’ve been wanting to stay with Kimpton Hotels again. In April 2019, the Michael W Travels family stayed at the Kimpton Eventi New York City. I used my last uncapped IHG Anniversary Free Night to cover the stay.

While there was no secret password during this time, I did receive a very confusing welcome gift. (Since then, the hotel did correct the issue…)

For those of you staying with Kimpton over the summer, you’re in luck- a new secret password has been announced!

@Kimpton tweeted out that, “Two words: social password. It’s back!”

When checking in from now until September 2, 2019, all you need to do is say: “Off Duty“. After doing so, you’ll receive, “a fun surprise from the front desk.”

Our second Kimpton stay wasn’t as exciting as our first but we’d still love to check out another. I don’t see a Kimpton stay coming up over te summer but I’d love to find out what the hotel’s surprises are!

If you stay at a Kimpton and say the new secret password, please let us know what the fun prize was that you received!
