Case Analysis: The Kimpton Experience
1. If you are a guest on one of the properties of Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, would
the above-mentioned extras make a difference to your hotel stay? Support your answer.
- Yes, the extras make a difference for me specially ruff house because the place where I
can stay is pet friendly. As a dog lover of course, it is important for me to be with my dog and
the place I am staying is not harmful to my pet. So, for me the hotel standards are good.
2. If you are an owner of a restaurant/bar, how can you improve the meal experience of
your guest? What strategies can you apply? What extras will you offer? Why?
- If I am the owner of a restaurant/bar of course it is important to me what my
customers want. And to improve the meal experience of my guests is to have excellent
customer service, encourage effective communication between staff members, inform
customers about the wait time and respond immediately. And the extras I can give are offering
something free. Offering a gift to your guests, even a small offering like giving a dessert for free
or a small pack of mints can gain you a huge service point. These little acts make your
customers feel appreciated and will have positive associations with the restaurants.
