Kimpton The Goodland
Hotel has announced it has partnered with LA-based VNYL, a
music discovery subscription service, to create a vinyl record shop on the
property. Not only is this initiative a first for Kimpton Hotels &
Restaurants, but it is also VNYL’s first record shop inside of a hotel.
The space features dozens of titles
that can be enjoyed during one’s stay and purchased for the road, as well as
listening stations powered by SONOS and VNYL’s connected turntable line,
TRNTBL, that allows for listeners around the world to see what’s spinning at
The Goodland.
Located along the California
coastline in Goleta, the 158-room The Goodland is a SoCal-inspired bohemian
oasis, that features a variety of nostalgic Americana amenities and
programming, including a vintage house car and airstream, curated art gallery,
in-room record players, film and concert series, adult summer camp-style games,
yoga, pop-up shops and workshops, taught by local purveyors. The new
partnership with VNYL will build on the art and music offering, further amplifying
the guest experience.
“The collaboration with VNYL is the
evolution of our record program at the hotel,” said Lea Sindija, Director of
Programming at The Goodland, who has been dubbed the ‘record concierge.’ “The
hotel opened with vinyl and record players in every room which guests really
enjoyed, so we wanted to take it a step further to enhance the guests’ stay. We
curated the content of the shop to embody The Goodland vibe, and it’s stocked
with music from the sixties through the nineties, in addition to most of the
bands that have performed on property. The ultimate take away from the record
shop would be to have a guest discover new music that they can take with them
and enjoy.”
VNYL Founder Nick Alt adds, “VNYL
and The Goodland share a deep passion for music discovery. I’m thrilled that
together we will create unique and memorable experiences both for their guests
and the Santa Barbara community.”
The Goodland and VNYL collaborated
with LA-based design and build group Ink & Wood to create VNYL’s retail
experience in the hotel’s retro Americana style, using sustainable materials
and modern simplicity. Watch video here.
To celebrate the launch, the hotel and VNYL will be
hosting a music-filled event on May 19, featuring Grammy nominated, platinum
album certified Christian Rich, Oakland based, indie-darlings Waterstrider, and
Jay Z’s tour DJ and scratch vinyl legend DJ Neil Armstrong, along with a
special surprise guest.
