Guest Experience

**Who We Are**:
Extraordinary places, passionate people, and shared learning experiences: this is Aethos. We believe that traveling and hospitality should leave a lasting positive impact on the mind, body, and soul. That's the reason why we choose our locations very carefully and work together with people who want to be part of a community instead of just ”having a job”. Everyone who works at Aethos can make a personal impact on the community and company - great ideas can come from anywhere. We are a young and dynamic hospitality company that understands the value of time with friends and loved ones. We make a conscious choice towards sustainability and wellbeing, and the luxury of time and space. We stand for freedom from the stresses and anxieties of modern life. We want to be the first choice for anyone who seeks respite and refuge from the boring, the stressful, and the unsustainable. That‘s why we define hospitality differently: while all of our decisions should be made with the community and needs of our guests in mind, we always thrive to create a community that we want to be part of and that improves the world around us. We invite you to be part of our story.

**Our Hotels and Clubs**:
Aethos currently operates six properties and with more openings coming in 2025. The hotels in its portfolio currently includes Aethos Milan, Aethos Monterosa (located in the Italian Alps), Aethos Saragano (in Umbria), Aethos Sardinia, Aethos Corsica, and Aethos Ericeira (north of Lisbon). Coming in 2025, Aethos Mallorca (June 2025) and Aethos Madrid (2026). The portfolio consists of a mix of urban and leisure destinations, all aimed at providing an exceptional guest experience. Aethos has also recently opened its first members club in Milan, marking the beginning of its global network of members clubs. Aethos aims to create a collection of properties that will serve as clusters for its members and guests to enjoy. These clusters will comprise a city destination and a countryside or seaside destination within driving distance, offering a diverse range of experiences. The first of these clusters is located in Milan and Monterosa, and the next cluster will be in Lisbon and Ericeira.
