Pastry Sous

Introducing MiiroInspired by the Latin word meaning ‘I wonder’ or ‘I marvel’, we encourage our guests to pause, to look around and to savour every moment. Our name and double vowel reminds us of a mirror, speaking to the idea of self-reflection and echoing the spirit of our locations.

At Miiro, we believe there’s a better way to travel. A way that is more thoughtful and personal. And since our hotels are in Europe’s most interesting neighbourhoods, we also encourage guests to discover new places — on their own terms and in an authentic way. Ultimately, we want to make sure guests go home inspired and reinvigorated because they’ve had a brilliantly considered stay.

Creating ‘Brilliantly Considered Stays’ is the essence of our brand. Stays that bring our guests closer to the local culture and their stories.
