KIMPTON’S EPIC JUMPS TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS WITH NEW “TIME OUT FOR TEACHERS” RATE STARTING AT JUST $125 PER NIGHT

Newly Launched EPIC Page Turner Reading Program Offers Fun Summer Reading for All

MIAMI, Fla., July 14, 2009 – Kimpton’s EPIC in downtown Miami is inviting teachers to head from the classroom to the guestroom with the “Time Out For Teachers” rate, which starts at just $125 per night. Before school starts up again, teachers can retreat to EPIC to experience a luxurious getaway, while also enjoying special freebies offered through Kimpton’s Summer Playground, which includes complimentary sangria, bites and games at wine hour and a refreshing daily ice cream hour in the lobby. Teachers can book the “Time Out For Teachers” rate for travel through September 7, 2009.
During their stay at EPIC, teachers can enjoy fun summer reading with the newly-launched EPIC Page Turner guest reading program. A partnership between the hotel and Hachette Book Group, Sony Digital, and the Early Learning Coalition of Miami-Dade/Monroe, the program provides guests with complimentary books, access to Sony Reader Digital Books, the online EPIC Virtual Nightstand where guests can access book excerpts from the comfort of their own in-room desktop computer, as well as author visits and signing events held during EPIC’s complimentary evening wine hour. Furthermore, EPIC is supporting the Early Learning Coalition’s child literacy efforts by providing kids (up to eight years old) with developmentally appropriate books, so they and their parents can participate in some relaxing “family reading time” during their stay.
