Over the course of the next three months at the Kimpton Everly Hotel in Los Angeles, 'Room 301' will be running as a first-of-its-kind social experiment exploring the human experience.
Travelers who make a booking for Room 301 will have the chance to participate in a variety of in-room activities, all of which are centered upon exploring meaningful connections, making space for self-reflection and inspiring creativity. In the room, guests will be invited to leave their mark without revealing their unique identity. Those who choose to participate in this limited-time initiative will receive a personalized welcome kit and the chance to support one of Kimpton's non-profit partners, either The Trevor Project or No Kid Hungry.
Room 301 fits into Kimpton's Stay Human brand campaign, which acknowledges that people crave authentic connection, as well as experiences that are highly personal and full of meaning.
