We are Conscious

We are stunning hotels with jaw-dropping interiors. We are a genuinely friendly welcome after a long journey. We are playful and fun. We are kind to the planet, always. We are at great locations. Are you ready to join us?

We're aware that who you are changes from moment to moment. Luckily, we're quite a mix of things, too, so we should get along just fine. We are stunning hotels with a genuinely friendly welcome, being kind to the planet and a mischievous sense of fun. You've got quite a range of choices when you stay with us.

We provide the great place to hang out, inside tips from your Concierge to help you get the most from your visit, some quirky touches that make staying 'green' fun, healthy snacks and smoothies instead of the usual dreary hotel fodder, and a really, really good night's sleep. So, are you ready to become Conscious?

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Albert Einstein

"Consciousness will always be present, though a particular consciousnes may cease. For example, the particular tactile consciousness that is present within this human body will cease when the body comes to an end. But the basic, ultimate, innermost subtle consciousness will always remain. It has no beginning, and it will have not end."
The Dalai Lama

"The Dalai Lama visted the White House and told the President he could teach him to reach a higher state of consciousness. Then after talking to George W. Bush for a few minutes, he said, 'You know what? Let's just grab lunch'"
Bill Maher

Who's behind Conscious?

  • a) A massive multinational corporation?
  • b) H.A.D.D.O.C.K. - a shadowy underground organisation whose letters stand for Hotels Are Deadly Devices Of Criminal Knowledge?
  • c) Just three guys called Sam, Marco en Jaron with a hotel-related dream?

Answer: c) It's always the least obvious one, isn't it? Here's how you get in touch with them: email to conscious@conscioushotels.com

Where did Conscious spring from?

It started when Marco's wife had their daughter Giulia and Marco got worried about their baby's future. Then Marco and Sam shared the vision that the planet was in pretty bad shape and business had to change. So Sam and Marco started looking for positive alternatives for the business they both knew inside out - hotels. They dreamed a little. Then they thought a lot. They bounced their ideas off Jaron. They learned from him what worked and what didn't. The three of them wanted fully sustainable hotels BUT they didn't want to come across all doom and gloom. They wanted stylish contemporary interiors BUT comfort was also a big deal. They wanted healthy food choices BUT lots of playful touches. They wanted a lot, frankly. Anyhow, lots of other stuff went on that we don't have time to go into here but, eventually, Conscious was born.

The End or, more accurately, The Beginning.
