About The Hotls

A publication for small hotels with soul.

Who we are

Independent curation for design-led travel.

The Hotls is an independent editorial platform curating the world's best boutique hotels. We started with Portugal and Spain - two countries that have quietly become home to some of the most interesting small hotels in Europe - and we're building outward from there.

We're not a booking engine with an editorial layer on top. We're the other way around: a publication that happens to make it easy to book.
