I've certainly noticed that, at least on the Kimpton website, a number of properties have now inserted "Kimpton" into the name, though there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it... many (but not all) Palomars and Monacos are now referred to as "Kimpton Hotel Palomar" or "Kimpton Hotel Monaco".
