About ETHOS
Uplifting lodging and communal spaces for a network of visionaries
Our Story
We are a group of entrepreneurs that experienced the pain and incurred the cost of traveling for business many times. We also felt isolated and had difficulty establishing relevant connections in the big cities. We thought, Why burn cash on a pricy hotel or shared Airbnb? Where can we meet people like us when traveling for business?
At Ethos, we believe one's biggest impact is achieved through growing personal networks in relevant places. Therefore, we provide our members with a new travel option designed to cultivate a strong community and with the best essentials for modern business travel. We are all about privacy, affordability, quality of sleep, and connection to a community of like-minded individuals.
The interaction with Ethos is seamless and digital. We promise exceptional comfort, care, and control through smart, delightful, and unexpected elements during your stay.
We are not only the best hotel that re-defines hospitality, we're starting a movement toward humanizing work travel.
