Barefoot luxury for the modern nomad
founded by
Natalia Swarz
in the summer of 2015
Hôtel Weekend is a community of like-minded travelers with a shared spirit of exploring the world at a slower pace. We are a lifestyle destination for the modern nomad, featuring a selection of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Through a personal creative lens, we both make & curate beautiful products across fashion, beauty, homeware & wellness at our Souvenir Shop.
OUR MANTRA
Travel for yourself, not for others. Embrace a slower pace and get to know the heart of your destination. Walk barefoot and tilt your head up to the sun. Enjoy the journey itself; take a road trip, sit in the window of a train or on the deck of a boat. Seek out hidden gems and soak up the atmosphere. Set your out of office. Make memories you'll treasure.

BEHIND HÔTEL WEEKEND
Natalia was born & raised in Cali, Colombia - a city where summer is endless and golden hour lasts forever - and is now based in Madrid. Inspired by her globetrotting mother, Natalia launched Hôtel Weekend with a desire to share the raw and extraordinarily beautiful places the world can offer with an inspiring community.

Slow down
Our values
SLOWNESS
We seek to discover the beauty around the world, but mostly to respect it. We love to travel, but we always encourage to do so in a responsible and conscious way. If you are here, it most likely means that we share a philosophy of slowness, and respect towards nature, people, and cultures.
SOCIAL
We believe in supporting local and artisanal projects. This applies to the hotels we work with and their own values, to the places we travel to, the brands we collaborate with, and to our internal values as a company. Most of the brands we feature on our Souvenir Shop are female-owned or independent, and their own design and company policies go hand in hand with our mission.
BAREFOOT SIMPLICITY
Our barefoot philosophy is applied to the places we love but mostly to the way we live.
