The summer of 2022 will be remembered for the many prolonged strikes. The vacations of millions of passengers Have been overwhelmed by the absolute uncertainty. Kind of like stepping back in time, back to the warm months of 2020, when leaving was a real feat. We went from restrictions due to Covid, which often differed from country to country, to the flight crew strikes and land, as well as pilots.
In this article:
The situation mainly affects low-cost airlines, but not only. Many have seen their flights postponed, at best, or even canceled. An incredible level of stress after such difficult years. An onerous situation for an industry struggling to return to pre-pandemic levels. Against such a backdrop, one hotel chain has not sat idly by and, in a great marketing stunt, has decided to pamper those customers who, overcoming this sea of cancellations, manage to set foot in their property. It is Kimpton.
Post-strike emotional support
IHG Hotels & Resorts, owner since 2015 of the Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group, has announced two promotions related to some of the properties of this famous hotel chain. One goes out to extend a hand to its customers, taking advantage of the difficult moment to stand out from the crowd with a gesture as simple as it is ingenious. A bit of emotional support, resulting in a free drink offer.
Anyone who has had to deal with the unfortunately widespread problem of delayed or canceled flights is entitled to free drinks. Not for the duration of your stay, mind you, but a nice glass of your choice to calm your nerves and get into the vacation mood. You have until Aug. 28 to take advantage of the package Emotional Support Beverage. All you have to do is offer proof of the inconvenience suffered within 24 hours of check-in. Here you are served a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic beverage. Numerous venues have decided to take part in the initiative, but since they are not all, it is recommended that you check before submitting your request to the hotel bar.
Important announcement: Flight delayed? Cancelled? Wine about it with us! Starting this weekend, we'll pour you a glass of well-deserved wine (we call it an Emotional Support Beverage) at check-in if your flight was delayed or canceled! We know it's rough out there! pic.twitter.com/gdSOnGZIO0

However, we talked about two promotions. The second concerns 11 Kimpton locations in the United States and refers to the great heat that we are all experiencing. Climate change is real and by now even the deniers seem to have come to terms with it. In an attempt to offer some refreshment after so much sweat, here is the package Chill the Eff Out, which can be translated as "calm the (bleep) down." You can receive a welcome snack or a refreshing drink. Space will then be made for refreshing pillowcases and blankets, a personal mobile fan, and a butler engaged in delivering cold towels to your room, ice at will, and bottles of water. By selecting this option, you will also have an indoor temperature in your rooms set to 18 degrees.
