Can you cover your ears for a sec, London? We love you and we don’t want you to be jealous, but word’s out that Manchester is not only one of the world’s top travel destinations, but has also been dubbed the coolest hipster city in the UK. Its iconic title as the official indie music capital of England now shares the stage with a thriving tech scene, vegan-friendly restaurants, world-class museums, ethical shopping options, vintage boutiques, killer coffee shops, cutting-edge theater and a legendary “Madchester” nightlife. Oh, and the cool new Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is open in buzzy Town Centre. Okay London, you can uncover your ears. We were just talking about a Man. Named Chester.

Oh hey, it's us with a friendly reminder that voter registration deadlines are fast approaching (as in *today* in some states!). THIS IS THE DAY to register online, double check your voter registration status, or get your vote-by-mail or absentee ballot request in the mail and postmarked by today. If you've done all that, you 👏 are 👏 soooo 👏 gooood! Next level is blocking off time on your work calendar (if you're voting in person) and texting older relatives, adult children, friends and neighbors to make sure they're all set with registering today or voting in person. Let's all help each other out so that—no matter how we're going about it—we're all exercising our right. https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/
Please join us in an audible squeal as we announce today that Kimpton is officially open in one of the coolest cities in the world: Tokyo, Japan. Oh, and it's located in the coolest, bustling-est, most iconic neighborhood in the city: Shinjuku. While the hotel radiates energy with its cosmopolitan, fashion-inspired design, it also manages to offer a slice of serenity: a calm oasis with a relaxing terrace bar, luxurious rooms and even an art venue that doubles as a wedding chapel. Just outside, you're within steps of write-home-about entertainment, restaurants & bars, biking around Yoyogi Park, and traveling through the world's busiest railway station which will take you anywhere you want to go. Fair warning, though, you might never want to leave the Kimpton Shinjuku Hotel. It’s that good. Squeal.

In this week's installment of The Kimpton Edit, we're sharing the ultra cool playlist from The Kimpton Vividora Hotel in Barcelona. The music drifting off the rooftop of this spectacular hotel in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona reflects the vibrant pulse of the city. Sleek, eclectic and soulful, the tunes pair perfectly with a tinto de verano (red wine, tonic, sweet vermouth, orange & lemon juices).

Just off the first floor of Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel in Charlotte, NC, a soul-filled Angeline's awaits. With a soundtrack featuring dinner guests like James Brown, Raphael Saadiq, Sam Cooke, and Etta James, the tunes are just as good as the menu (as every dining experience should be, we say.) If you're with us, enjoy (and order the mussels). If you can't be in Charlotte right now, transport yourself there with our Angeline's @spotify playlist at the link below. The first song is 💯.

Rhythm and Blues. Soul. Hip-hop. Pop. Jazz. Rock and Roll. All of these genres of music (and more) that we love today were influenced and created by Black musicians throughout history. From legends like Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin, to modern-day chart-toppers like H.E.R. and Childish Gambino, there are so many Black artists we LOVE and want to share with you in honor of Black History Month. In addition to our Black Artists We Love playlist dropping on our Spotify channel today, our #KimptonEdit playlists will be spotlighting Black creators all month long. We hope you’ll tune in: https://spoti.fi/3qYiuC3
