Boutique Hotel Club Guiding Principles
Though all the Club’s properties are one-of-a-kind there are threads that run through them, connecting proudly different hotels in shared ideals. Hotels making the cut possess these five characteristics that form the pillars of the brand:
Sharing wholeheartedly – It is a state of mind where the joy of living in a place spills over into a desire to connect and share that wonderful something with a guest.
Connection to the region – Through a passion for celebrating the local culture, our properties give guests the true wonder of travel: exploration of lands unknown. This can be through experiences, cuisine or simply through people firmly rooted in the country and region. Our hotels find and keep sta with their finger on the pulse of the region’s cultural heart.
Emotional impact – True hospitality goes beyond delivering fastidious service and material luxury. From the creators to the day-to-day staff, our hotels possess the emotional intelligence to heighten the internal experience of their guests.
Unique sense of place – Each property should possess a creative design flair that afford it a unique place in the memory of each traveller who walks through its doors. When you’re there, you feel as though you couldn’t be anywhere else.
Alchemy – The real magic comes in the balance between the good ingredients chosen. We look for the design, location, personalities, history and character to come together in harmony to achieve an overarching immersive experience.
