Join Our Journey
Our State Of Mind
Hospitality is built by humans, not handbooks. We’re not a company of hoteliers.
We’re a collective of dreamers, doers, and creators who make every guest feel seen.
Behind every drink poured, every room styled, and every unexpected detail,
there’s someone who cares a little too much and that’s exactly how we like it.
ESS Labs
Our entrepreneurial arm. A home for starting, co-owning and growing new ventures
driven by curiosity, creativity and long-term belief.
Kin Lab creates unique activities and events that engage people and elevate brands through memorable experiences.
Mandales develops hospitality solutions, realizing concepts for hotels and restaurants and elevating guest experiences across the Nordics and Europe.
