SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- BelleHavens(TM) Inc., the world's first equity destination club, has formed a strategic alliance with Kimpton Hotels and Restaurant Group LLC, the leading lifestyle hotel collection. The alliance, which consists of two phases, will provide BelleHavens' members with immediate access to luxurious suites in Kimpton Hotels in some of the world's greatest cities, from New York City to San Francisco.

Kimpton Hotels will represent non-equity properties and will enhance the Club's expanding portfolio by providing its members with convenient access to accommodations in multiple cities. 'Our goal is to exceed the travel needs of our members,' said BelleHavens Founder and President Darin Gilson. 'The inclusion of Kimpton Hotels in our BellePlaza portfolio will allow us to measure our members' usage and demand for specific metropolitan destinations while we research opportunities to purchase million-dollar, luxury residences in these cities.'

Through this alliance, BelleHavens members can reserve spacious, one- and two-bedroom suites, at any of the participating Kimpton Hotels. Kimpton properties participating in Phase I include the following: 70 park avenue hotel in New York City (new), Onyx Hotel in Boston (new), Hotel Monaco in Washington D.C., Hotel Allegro in Chicago, Hotel Solamar in San Diego (new), and Hotel Palomar and Hotel Argonaut in San Francisco. These roomy suites feature stunning cosmopolitan vistas, and luxurious accents unique to each distinctive property. BelleHavens anticipates announcing Phase II of this alliance later this summer. "
