Acclaimed LA Chef Overseeing All Dining at New Downtown Hotel | Eater San Diego
"A downtown boutique hotel getting revamped and renamed, it was purchased and renovated by Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in 2015 and will debut later this fall as Kimpton Alma San Diego; the 211-room property, which includes several two-story suites, will feature interiors inspired by San Diego’s proximity to Mexico, with custom street art on its pool deck and murals from local artists, and will include three brand-new dining spaces overseen by chef Jason Neroni with menus reportedly focused on Southern California cuisine and San Diego-sourced ingredients." - Candice Woo
Kimpton Hotels Launch Book Lending Program for Guests - AFAR
"This hotel participates in the Kimpton x Lit Hub book-lending program: guests can borrow Lit Hub–selected titles by asking at the front desk, consult seasonal curated reading lists (the spring selection spotlights books written by women for Women’s History Month), and take part in virtual Q&As and readings with authors and publishers. Guests can also access Lit Hub’s Literary Long Weekend itineraries—curated bookstore and library stops, dining recommendations, and activity suggestions—by asking at check-in, and Kimpton and Lit Hub publish each season’s selections and interview links on their social channels. Participating properties also offer a “book lovers’ discount” of 20%." - Michelle Baran
