Not another booking site
DNA Hotels is your shortcut to stylish, authentic, and inspirational stays—without the noise, the scrolling, or the sameness of big booking platforms.
Hotels with Stories, Not Just Beds
We believe the best hotels are more than “a home away from home.” They are destinations in themselves—a way to escape, recharge, or immerse yourself in local culture.
Our curated collection spans:
Independent boutiques and lifestyle chains.
Petit rentals and grand hotels.
Budget-friendly boltholes and luxury icons.
Each is chosen for style, authenticity, and inspiration—a design born of place, not Pinterest boards.
Search by Experience, Not Just Destination
Endless scrolling is out. Inspiration is in.
With DNA Hotels, you can search in ways that big OTAs simply don’t allow:
By vibe: boho chic, glam & sexy, brutalist, contemporary classic.
By mood: serene retreat or lively hotspot.
By experience: a hot air balloon ride, a serene garden for reading, a rooftop bar with live jazz.
By credentials: Michelin Keys, Condé Nast Traveller Hot List, design awards.
Plus, each profile includes #tags that link to alternatives—because sometimes your next favorite stay finds you, not the other way around.
Experience Over Price
Travel isn’t about ticking boxes—it’s about making memories. Unlike traditional booking platforms that emphasize “value for money,” we focus on value for experience.
Our listings are like getting a recommendation from your most fashionable, well-traveled friend—curated, opinionated, and stylish.
Fairer Booking, Better Stays
Here’s the truth: booking through OTAs (Online Travel Agent, like Booking or Expedia) often costs hotels up to 30% in commissions. That expense eventually trickles down to you.
When you book through DNA Hotels, you’re directed to the hotel’s own website. That means:
Better service & perks for you.
More revenue for the hotel.
Support for local economies rather than Big Tech giants.
No Socials, No Algorithms
We don’t chase algorithms, trends, or empty likes. DNA Hotels is a passion project, inspired by travel, design, and storytelling.
Instead of influencers selling their own brand, we work with authentic voices who truly care about travel. And instead of overwhelming you with noisy feeds, we offer clarity and curation.

AI is Changing Travel, and We’re Ready
Planning trips is about to change forever. Instead of separate searches for hotels, restaurants, and attractions, AI will soon answer multi-layered travel questions in a single conversation.
DNA Hotels is already preparing for this shift. By emphasizing mentions in trusted sources, curated lists, and expert reviews, we ensure our hotels remain discoverable in the AI-driven search future.
So when a traveler asks: “Find me a stylish boutique in Lisbon with a rooftop bar, near markets and live music,”—we’ll be there.
DNA Hotels isn’t another booking site. It’s a gateway to experiences, stories, and design-driven escapes that stay with you long after checkout. Your next unforgettable stay starts here.
bon voyage, Chiel
