Kimpton Hotels

I love hotels- the maid service, the little bottles of soap, shampoo, vodka, the burn of an overly chlorinated pool.

Especially little boutique hotels that have funky furnishings, small bars, someplace you can hole up in for a week, watch crappy movies and eat from the mini-bar.

The very best chain of hotels in my oh so humble opinion is the Kimpton Hotels. Now because I am not wealthy- see self-employed, i.e. beggar child, I haven't stayed at them all.

But once I win the Lottery the first thing I am going to do is go from city to city and stay at each one or if they were thinking they needed a quality control checker- pick me, pick me, I'm here and will take one for the team.

I love Kimpton hotels so much I've composed a small sonnet to their magnificence .

Oh Kimpton, oh Kimpton how I love thee let me count the ways.
Is it the beauty of your lobbies
or the tiger stripped bathrobes
or the, the, ok that's it, I'm out.


Ok, as I was saying because I haven't recently come into a large inheritance I frequently stay at the The Cypress Hotel in Cupertino. Their week-end rates rock!!!! For you non-Californians that is in the Bay Area. So you are close enough to take advantage of everything San Jose, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz has to offer with just a short jaunt on the freeway.

Why do I love this hotel so much? It is just cool, baby- from the tricked out rooms, animal print bathrobes, and the honor bar- well let's just say in case you meet someone while you are down there you won't be unprepared. The chocolate chip cookies when you check in.....oooohhh!
