Shaping transformative spaces

Growing a family of bespoke neighborhood hotels, Porter Hotels was born from the desire to create a unique, community-minded travel experience. By recognising the notion that luxury, in the travel industry, has shifted from the tangible to the experiential, we understand that our guests want to gain new insights, partake in cultural immersion, and feel a daily rush of inspiration. They want to put the guidebooks away, look up and out at the world and live in the present. 

We are shaping transformative spaces that aim to connect global travelers with the local community and to foster meaningful personal interactions.

Heartfelt service with an easy smile

The name Porter attracts like-minded Globetrotters, on the road for business or leisure: those who set out to encounter the city as an insider and who like to feel at ease without discounting the possibility of the new. Our guests seek to make real connections and create meaningful memories. They appreciate heartfelt service without pretention, delivered with an easy smile. They like to be greeted by their first name.

We want to make our guests feel at home, even when they’re worldweary and so far from the familiar. And we embrace the idea that work, travel and entertainment for our guests don’t just intermingle but feed into one other.

Each address is a destination in its own right

Our properties are situated in urban cultural hubs: central locales that bustle in the evenings and on the weekends. These are the stomping ground of residents in the know. Tailored to their surroundings, each hotel boasts artful touches and surprising details that reveal the city’s harm and character. 

A considered approach to the design, gastronomy, and curatorial experiences ensures that each address is a destination in its own right.

About local conspirators and global creators

Our core approach is one of collaboration and community. We connect with local conspirators — the most talented specialists and creatives — and invite them to lend their passion and know-how to ensure we create the most authentic environments.

For our guests’ enjoyment and engagement, each hotel hosts a bespoke cultural program that explores a captivating range of topics across art, music, and design. Regular events, like intimate, invitation-only dinners, and educational fireside chats, will shape our on-site program and ensure our guests stay connected long after their travels. Likewise, we curate a blog as well as a collection of printed publications with the aim of giving our brand a voice and enriching the overall experience on offer.

We have a responsibility to prioritize sustainability practices

Climate change, on-going urbanisation, and the subsequent social and environmental effects  are the challenges presented to us today. We know that we have a responsibility to prioritise sustainability practices out of respect for our customers, employees, and local communities. This ethos touches every aspect of the business, from the way we interact with our surroundings, the conscious use of resources and materials to design considerations.

Neighborhood hotspots for locals and travelers alike

All Porter properties boast a lively restaurant and bar, a central hub open for all-day service,  which in turn become neighbourhood hotspots frequented by both locals and travellers alike. Throughout the hotel, there are also generous shared spaces where guests are invited to mingle, network and even collaborate.

We aim to attract young professionals, creatives, opinion-leaders and urban nomads and most of our properties allow us — depending on the location and size — to provide open workspaces, studios or even private offices. For guests looking to maintain their regular routines and healthy lifestyles, our hotels feature well-equipped gymnasiums, guided running tracks and regular yoga classes. While fostering connections is encouraged, discretion and privacy are just as easy to access. We provide private spaces for meetings, dinners and intimate parties.
