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

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.

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.

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
