Moderne panden en ongebruikelijke plekken waar gasten kennis kunnen maken met lokale ervaringen. Een combinatie van publieke en private ruimtes die balanceren tussen gemeenschap en stille reflectie. Gastvrijheid die het geheel overstijgt en een gevoel van eigenwaarde geeft. Een dienst die zich richt op en de nadruk legt op de emotionele intelligentie van onze gasten en medewerkers.
Het draait allemaal om de merkbeleving, het merkverhaal en de locatie; Het is gericht op het hotel, het ontwerp en de kunstcuratie, de ervaringen en culturele programmering.
