2. Email us at hello@luxurystayworld.com with your property name, location, website and a few words on what makes it exceptional. A press kit is welcome.

What our partners receive
A listing gives you a grid of amenities and a booking button. A feature tells the story of a place: its architecture, its history, the people who look after it, and what it feels like to stay there.
Your own editorial page, written by us and built around your photography, like a magazine article rather than a listing.
Every enquiry goes straight to you or your representative. We are not a booking platform and never stand between you and your guests.
Nothing is published until you have read and approved the draft. You keep full copyright of your images.
Travellers increasingly research with Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT, which rely on independent sources. Your feature is one of them.
Every feature appears in our collection and on our interactive world map, alongside other exceptional properties.
No listing fee, no commission and no paid placement. Selection can't be bought, which is what makes it worth something.
Who we partner with
We say yes to fewer properties than we could. What we look for is a point of view: distinctive architecture, a meaningful history, or a setting that could only exist where it is. A thirteen-room hotel with a remarkable story can be a better fit than a large resort.
We work with owners, general managers, marketing teams, and the PR agencies and representatives who look after exceptional properties.
How it works
You apply, or we reach out, and we talk about whether the property is a fit.
You share a short description in your own words and 10–20 high-resolution images.
We research the property and write the feature.
You review the draft and approve every word before anything goes live.
We publish and send you the link to share with guests and on your own channels.
The best features start with one or two things nobody else knows: the story behind a room, a family connection, an unusual tradition.
