Design Hotels

Since 1993, the Design Hotels Collective has built a portfolio that today includes more than 300 privately owned hotels that reflect the visions of independent hoteliers – or “originals” – with a passion for culturally rooted hospitality and modern design. From boutique hotels in New York, Paris and London to rising stars in Shanghai, Mexico City and Nairobi, to remote mountaintops, hidden beaches and off-the-beaten-path destinations, each independent hotel in the handpicked collection is a unique creative expression inspired by the history, culture and nature of its surroundings. Across the globe, Design Hotels are the anchor for a community of travelers seeking inspiring environments, genuine local culture and transformative, boundary-pushing adventures. The hoteliers believe that travel can be a force for good. They see their hotels as a global network of inspiring, forward-thinking places that make a positive impact on their surroundings, connecting travelers with local communities and forging gentler paths in the world.
