Kimpton Hotels to Alleviate ‘Pack-xiety’ with Anthropologie

Kimpton Hotels is expanding its partnership with lifestyle emporium Anthropologie to provide guests of its UK hotels with complimentary access to a seasonally evolving edit of accessories.

Launching across the UK on 26th October 2023, the collection extends Kimpton’s Forgot It? We’ve Got It! programme to include a curation of Anthropologie accessories, such as bags, belts, and bracelets.

Pieces are available for guests to borrow for the duration of their stay at Kimpton properties throughout the UK with participating hotels including Kimpton Fitzroy London, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, Kimpton Charlotte Square in Edinburgh, and Kimpton Blythswood Square in Glasgow.

The partnership launches in response to the continued travel trend for ‘minimalist maximalism’, which sees today’s travellers pack light, whilst still going all-out on experience. Nevermore so, guests are embracing the extraordinary experiences made possible through travel, all whilst packing only the essentials.

Items like jewellery, statement bags and accessories are often the first to go when making space in their case. Yet the fear of forgotten items can spark unwelcome ‘pack-xiety’ (packing anxiety) with 56%* of travellers recalling the stress experienced when trying to replace forgotten items whilst travelling and 62%* noting its impact on their relaxation while on a trip.

The collection features an edit of Anthropologie jewellery, belts, handbags, and evening bags selected by Anthropologie’s stylists, refreshed bi-annually to reflect trend seasonality.

A QR code found in-room seamlessly directs Kimpton guests to discover the Kimpton X Anthropologie Accessories Collection where they can browse, borrow and – should they wish to recreate their travel style post-stay – buy items.

Kimpton’s Forgot It? We’ve Got It! Anthropologie Accessories Collection launches in Kimpton properties throughout the UK – Kimpton Fitzroy London, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Manchester, Kimpton Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, Kimpton Blythswood Square, Glasgow on 26 October 2023.
