When it comes to hosting an event, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants are an unquestionable authority. If you’re seeking a hotel as unique as you are, Kimpton takes your experience personally. They are inspired by delighting you in unique ways through their bold and playful design, award-winning dining and amenities to provide you with the ultimate boutique hotel stay.

Counterform partnered with Arnica Publishing to concept and create a lifestyle entertainment coffee table book, complete with themed events from throughout the calendar year to help aspiring hosts to entertain their guests the Kimpton way.

We were involved in every detail of creative planning, from helping to plan each themed event to editorial development and layout design. Using Kimpton’s iconic patterns, colors, and design work unique to their properties was an easy call to make for the creative direction of the book.

A large portion of the project involved planning and art directing a comprehensive photoshoot that involved portraits of key Kimpton executives, as well as talent for each themed event.

Partnering with over a dozen chefs at each hotel property was just a perk, and there may have even been some tasting along the way!
