About Design Hotels

Design Hotels was founded in 1993 with the idea of bringing together independent hotels created by passionate owners, architects and creative minds. Today it is a global community of more than 300 properties across Europe, the Americas, Asia and beyond, and it is part of the Marriott family while still celebrating the individuality of every member.

What defines Design Hotels is originality. Each hotel is shaped by the vision of the people behind it, so no two stays feel alike. You might find a minimalist retreat in the mountains, a converted industrial building in a creative city district, a remote island hideaway or a forward-thinking urban hotel full of art and music. The common thread is thoughtful design, a clear sense of purpose and a genuine link to the neighborhood or landscape around it.

Guests can expect beautifully considered spaces, distinctive food and drink, and experiences that reflect the local culture and the personalities of the hosts. Many properties are intimate, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that feels closer to staying with creative friends than at a conventional hotel. Design Hotels suits architecture and design lovers, curious travelers, couples looking for something different and anyone who values character, story and creativity in the places they stay.

We can book eligible stays through the Design Hotels Collective, which can include benefits such as daily breakfast for two, a food and beverage credit, VIP recognition, and a room upgrade, early check-in or late check-out when available. Benefits vary by hotel and are confirmed when you inquire. We can help you discover the right hotel from the collection and arrange every detail for a seamless stay.
