Client Case Study: Kimpton Claret Hotel Denver

When Kimpton Claret Hotel opened its doors in the summer of 2024, it was ready to welcome guests into a beautifully designed space. However, they were missing one detail that would truly bring the experience to life.

While the property was stunning, they didn’t yet have a collection of event or lifestyle imagery that reflected the hotel's energy, warmth, and sophistication.

That’s where we came in.

Over the course of four photo shoots covering the grand opening, summer soirée, holiday pop-up bar, and a lively New Year’s Eve celebration, Tru Blu Images captured the full story of the Kimpton Claret brand coming to life.

In just 12 hours of photography, we delivered over 450 curated images that showcased every detail of their spaces and every smile from their guests. Each session was designed to highlight the hotel’s atmosphere in action with real people enjoying real experiences.

These photos became a powerful asset for Kimpton Claret’s marketing and communications teams. The hotel was able to:

  • Refresh their website and social channels with dynamic, authentic visuals

  • Elevate event marketing materials to attract new bookings

  • Share professional-quality images with media outlets and partners

  • Build a consistent, visually engaging brand presence that reflects the guest experience

High-quality imagery doesn’t just tell a story. It builds trust, inspires connection, and helps people envision themselves there. For a hospitality brand like Kimpton Claret, that visual storytelling is everything.

We’re proud to have partnered with their team to create a visual foundation that will serve them for seasons to come, and we can’t wait to capture whatever’s next.
