It's a common misconception that you can't book trendy, boutique-like hotels through major loyalty programs. But one of the most exciting brands in the space, Design Hotels, which is part of the Marriott Bonvoy ecosystem, has a slew of Instagram-worthy, independent hotels scattered around the world.
Now, the Design Hotels portfolio is getting even bigger through a partnership with Palisociety, a California-based collection of over than 20 hotels, residences and restaurants that have "a keen focus on bespoke design, neighborhood-inspired culture and programming, signature amenities and accouterments, and a distinctly independent point of view," Design Hotels shared with TPG.
Founded by Avi Brosh, Palisociety's collection includes four distinct brands (Palihouse, Palihotel, Le Petit Pali and Arrive by Palisociety) and an assortment of independently branded properties primarily on the West Coast, but also located in New Mexico, North Carolina and Tennessee.
