Our Approach

Our strategy centers on acquiring undervalued, family-owned hotels typically 2–3-star properties in fragmented markets where institutional competition is limited.

We focus on Western Europe, where demographic trends are fueling unprecedented opportunities as assets are passed to heirs who often lack the means or desire to manage these properties. This dynamic is driving a surge in property sales, creating a fertile landscape for strategic acquisition at favorable pricing.

We capitalize on this market reality by:

Acquiring Smart

Securing assets below intrinsic value in non-institutional markets

Transforming Boldly

Reimagining and expanding properties through cutting-edge design, operational excellence, and expanded capacity

Building Excellence

Attracting top-tier talent to deliver industry-leading wellness, human performance, and experiential programming

Maximizing Returns

Elevating underperforming properties into high-yield, diversified assets with revenue streams that go far beyond traditional F&B and room rates

Where We Invest

OUR VISION

Inspired by the salons of Gertrude Stein and modern private members' clubs such as Annabel's, Soho House, and The Arts Club. Rooted in design, wellness, and nature. Reimagined through a lens of craftsmanship and tranquility, curated for discerning travelers, creatives, and modern seekers.

OUR CREDENTIALS

We bring 150+ years of collective experience in high-end hospitality, having served royalty and elite clientele. We have successfully completed 1,500+ developments across luxury hospitality and real estate.

THE OPPORTUNITY

A generational shift across Western Europe is creating unprecedented opportunities in luxury hospitality. Baby Boomer landowners are transferring prime resort and hotel assets to heirs who often lack the resources or interest to operate the properties, driving a surge in off-market sales at attractive valuations.
