Part of Marriott International, Design Hotels is a global collection of more than 300 independently owned, design-led hotels. Building on strong portfolio growth in 2025, Design Hotels is expected to surpass 100 hotels across the Americas this year, a historic first for the brand. These deals represent a significant alignment between Design Hotels and Palisociety, two brands united by a shared commitment to individuality, storytelling, and neighborhood-focused hospitality. Both brands have been built around the power of community, offering memorable experiences and inspiring events that foster connection, all designed to nurture the culturally curious.
"Design Hotels has always been a home for founders, visionaries, and original thinkers. Avi Brosh and Kirsten Leigh Pratt have built Palisociety with the same independent mindset that defines our global community - creating hotels with character, cultural relevance, and a genuine connection to place. The alignment between our brands was immediate. We share a belief that great hospitality is personal, distinctive, and shaped by the people behind it, making this collaboration a natural evolution for both brands," said Stijn Oyen, Managing Director of Design Hotels.
Founded in Los Angeles in 2008, Avi Brosh's Palisociety operates a collection of more than 20 hotels, residences, and restaurants with a keen focus on bespoke design, neighborhood-inspired culture and programming, signature amenities and accoutrements, and a distinctly independent point of view. The brand's portfolio comprises five sub-brands: Palihouse, Palihotel, Le Petit Pali, ARRIVE by Palisociety and an assortment of independently branded properties, all designed to feel timeless and comfortable, while remaining deeply connected to their neighborhoods and driven by inspiration and creativity. From the brand's original Palihouse West Hollywood flagship in Los Angeles to the newest Le Petit Pali St. Helena in Napa Valley, California, Brosh's steadfast vision of modern-day hospitality has led Palisociety to numerous best hotels awards, international accolades and continued growth.
"Design Hotels has long been a symbol of creativity, vision and inspired hospitality in the industry, and we are thrilled to introduce our collection of hotels into their portfolio," said Avi Brosh, Founder of Palisociety. "Palisociety has always been driven by our love of design, culture and independence, and this agreement feels like a natural extension of those shared passions that hotel enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate."
Palisociety's member hotels will also be able to leverage Design Hotels' services which span public relations, sales, digital marketing, web design, and content creation as well as Marriott's global distribution channels. In the coming months, all properties are also set to join Marriott's award-winning travel platform, Marriott Bonvoy®, offering guests unique benefits and unparalleled experiences.
These deals reflect the continued growth of boutique hospitality and reinforce Design Hotels' mission to support visionary hoteliers whose properties stand apart.
