Design Hotels has announced a landmark portfolio expansion with Palisociety, the Los Angeles-based independent hospitality brand known for its design- forward hotels in key U.S. markets.
With the properties it operates joining Design Hotels, Palisociety and its hotel owners become part of a global network that champions visionary ownership and original design across the world. Representing over 1,000 total keys across the United States, 16 hotels are set to join the Design Hotels portfolio in the coming months.
“Design Hotels has always been a home for founders, visionaries, and original thinkers. Avi Brosh and Kirsten Leigh Pratt have built Palisociety with the same independent mindset that defines our global community – creating hotels with character, cultural relevance, and a genuine connection to place. The alignment between our brands was immediate. We share a belief that great hospitality is personal, distinctive, and shaped by the people behind it, making this collaboration a natural evolution for both brands,” said Stijn Oyen, Managing Director of Design Hotels.
