Let the pillow fights begin ... Kimpton Opens 70 Park Avenue Hotel On Manhattan | USA Today

"If you're not in New York, you're not anybody," says the chairman of fast-growing Kimpton Hotels, which opened its first property in the city last month, the 70 Park Avenue Hotel. Never heard of Kimpton? The company's founder, Bill Kimpton, is credited with inventing the boutique hotel concept 23 years ago in San Francisco, before Ian Schrager unveiled his first ode to hipness, Morgans, in New York in 1985.
