Meet the team

We listen. We curate. We love creating a richly ‘layered’ journey for you, from selecting only the most enthralling retreats to using our insider know-how to tailor your stay around your passions and personal interests.

We invite you to explore and stay in our beautiful spaces. Often owned by stylists, magazine editors, architects, interior designers or collectors in their own right, each one offers an immersive lifestyle experience that makes travelling with us so meaningful. It may also be forward-thinking architectural design that informs our choice . . . these properties are, if you like, 'living artworks'.

We are passionate about ‘layered’ journeys, about storytelling, about the supporting the arts and our diverse cultures, whether historic or contemporary. Drop us a line on reservations@arthouse-collection.com and we'll be in touch.

The Art House Collection simply celebrates the rich tapestry of life. Welcome!
