A family business, it is our simple purpose to make guests happy – in secret sanctuaries that are singularly exclusive and serenely secure. Our cause is to take you beyond boutique embraced in an experience that has at its service core, kindness, character and generosity. Kindness is in our nature, character in our personality and generosity in our inordinately large rooms, breakfasts and free drinks. It really isn’t about us… it’s about you.
