Welcome to The Host,
‍the
new platform redefining the art of travel

The Host,
addresses whispered about by enthusiasts

It's a gateway to carefully chosen places, confidential addresses that are whispered in our ears, often discovered thanks to a friend, a relative, a local... Places that we treasure in a corner of our minds and willingly share with those who matter.

In a travel landscape dominated by impersonal, soulless catalogs, The Host fills a gap and bets on the human touch and quality: each address is selected for its charm, authenticity and welcome. Behind each place is a story, a meeting, a unique atmosphere.

Our addresses are tested, loved and validated by a passionate team.

A genesis born of passion and expertise

Created by renowned hospitality experts Marine Madani and Mégane Rouault, The Host meets a need: to bring together on a single platform charming accommodations and rare addresses that are usually discovered by word-of-mouth.

With their partners Domitille Millet-Barquez and Cyrille Jacques, they have imagined a digital experience that combines curation of guest houses and boutique hotels with inspiring travel media.

Rigorous selection, tailor-made experience

Each address is Tested & Approved by a member of our circle of seasoned travelers, guaranteeing a unique experience and attentive service.

Selection is based on demanding criteria:

  • The culture of beauty: strict criteria for aesthetics and uniqueness.
  • A sense of hospitality: a focus on genuine, attentive service.
  • Local know-how: promoting local craftsmen and players
  • Innate kindness: from a warm welcome to small gestures that count
  • Positive feedback from experts and trusted travelers

More than a platform: an inspiring travel guide

The Host is also a medium that accompanies travellers with exclusive content:

  • We tested it for you: immersive reports on unique locations
  • The experts' favorite addresses: recommendations from influential figures in travel and hospitality

OPTIMIZED CUSTOMER SERVICE

The Host doesn't just offer places to book, it accompanies each traveler and host with responsive, personalized customer service, creating a new standard in travel.

With people at the heart of the project,
The Host also aims to support owners of exceptional places through an exclusive club where they can exchange tips and best practices.
It's often our travelers and guests who talk about it best.
And the press also reports on them.
