The Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group Inc. is a part of the Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) hotel company. Founded in 1981 by William (Bill) Kimpton and led by Chief Executive Officer Mike DeFrino, it was the largest chain of boutique hotels in the United States in 2011. Its headquarters are in San Francisco, California. All Kimpton properties are located in the United States, with the exception of its first international luxury hotel located in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands: Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa (Opened November 2016).

Most Kimpton properties are marketed under their own names as boutique hotels; however, in 2005, the company launched two sub-brands within the company's brand: Hotel Palomar and Hotel Monaco. Each hotel has a restaurant or bar that is marketed as upscale or trendy. The company's loyalty program is called Karma Rewards. Fortune listed it as the #11 best company to work for in 2015. Under contract, the company also manages and operates hotels owned by other entities.

December 16, 2014, IHG announced it would acquire Kimpton for $430 million in cash. IHG has retained the Kimpton brand name within the U.S. and may expand it globally. As a result of the acquisition, seven of Kimpton's nine hotels in San Francisco departed the brand in July 2015.
