If you run a hotel with genuine character, we'd love to consider it for the Outbound Stays collection — and put it in front of travellers who choose where they stay with real care.
Outbound Stays is a handpicked guide to the world's most inspiring places to stay. We don't list everyone — which is exactly why discerning travellers trust us, and why a place in the collection means something.
Our followers arrive already inspired and ready to travel — looking for somewhere worth the journey.
Every featured hotel gets a considered write-up and a gallery that does it justice. No template descriptions, no star ratings — just an honest portrait of the place.
Prefer a guaranteed place in the collection? Hotels can request to be listed directly with us through an annual membership.
You can't buy your way onto Outbound Stays. That integrity is the whole point — and it's what makes a feature genuinely valuable.
Tell us about your hotel using the form below. It takes a few minutes — no fees, no commitment.

If it's a fit, we craft your profile and add it to the collection and the map, in front of the right audience.
Travellers discover your hotel and book with you or your preferred booking partner — you keep the guest relationship.
“The hotels we choose feel like discoveries. That's the bar.”
