“Hygge” (hue-gah) is the Danish lifestyle concept of coziness and taking pleasure in life’s little pleasures.
At Kimpton, we’ve introduced a lighter, springtime interpretation of hygge that can be enjoyed at home or on the road. Spring hygge culls the best of the season by adding floral and botanical accents, and luxuriating in activities that focus on self-care. It’s a way to connect with others or find a comfortable solitude in your room – whatever you make it into.
We’ve channeled the essence of spring hygge into three new, refreshing cocktails.
