We have some Kimpton stays coming up so I asked for the secret password for May via Twitter message and got the following reply:-

"Our secret word is still of recharging it's batteries, but will be back later this year so keep an eye out on our social channels for its return. We know you'll have a great time on your upcoming trips, still. We can't wait to see you!"

My response was that I assume the IHG accountants are getting their claws into Kimpton and the decline has started.
