We create storied hotels for the long term

Our hotels and the restaurants and bars within them are at the heart of their communities. They are businesses with longevity, and our commitment to them and the teams who work there is for the foreseeable future. Hospitality comes first at our hotels.

Design

Thoughtful design and interesting use of space is at the heart of everything we do. Our in-house design team, led by Creative Director Jacu Strauss, are inspired by our buildings, their history and the neighbourhoods in which they are located.

Every touch point tells a story, with beautiful details creating emotional connections balanced by the requirements of operating and delivering modern luxury experiences.

People

We are passionate about our people and are committed to training, developing, mentoring, and coaching a world-class team to deliver memorable experiences for our guests.

As a small, independent group, we are able to offer a personalised career progression on a global stage with many of our team members having been able to easily move to our European and American properties, and vice versa, expanding their roles, careers and experiences.

Restaurants & Bars

Our restaurants and bars are the beating hearts of our hotels, providing vibrant spaces for our guests and local communities to meet, eat, drink, celebrate or work. Our restaurants are inspired by their neighbourhoods and the spaces they occupy, with their concepts making use of local cuisine and produce.

Many of our bars are in partnership with Mr Lyan, the globally renowned bartender, and regularly receive awards and accolades for their approach to cocktail making and hospitality.

Our people

Our leaders are a unique team of people who are each passionate about the hospitality industry and helping us to deliver exceptional guest experiences across our hotels, restaurants and bars.
