The Unhotel Company: Reimagining Luxury Travel Through Authenticity and Sustainability
Boutique startup The Unhotel Company offers discerning Indian travellers unique, personalised cultural adventures across 15 countries - now with a focus on Portugal, Eastern Europe, Vietnam, and Egypt.
Founded in India and now operating remotely across India and Lisbon, The Unhotel Company provides curated luxury trips that connect travellers with authentic local experiences in cuisine, culture and history. Their travel destinations range from Portugal, Spain and Croatia to Morocco, Greece and beyond.
"Our goal is to be India's number one experiential travel company while remaining eco-friendly," said CEO Manish Sinha. "We create immersive adventures for discerning travellers who are committed to sustainable travel."
The Unhotel Company sets itself apart by customising trips based on client's individual interests and priorities. With a focus on women travellers and small group sizes, they provide highly personalised attention from their predominantly female team.
Unique accommodation options allow clients to live locally. By partnering with sustainably-minded boutique hotels, homestays, and villas, The Unhotel Company offers an "un-hotel" experience embedded within each destination's culture.
The company's commitment to sustainability aligns with its experiential approach. "We choose our accommodation partners based on their environmental responsibility. This immerses our guests in the community while minimizing footprint," Sinha explained.
As The Unhotel Company expands to new destinations in 2023 after renewed operations post-Covid, their mission remains to deliver transformative luxury travel through meaningful connections, sustainability and service.
"Our diverse team brings a wealth of expertise and passion," said Sinha. "Together, we reimagine luxury travel by creating experiences that reveal the heart of a destination."
