Life House

Life House is Startup in New York City

Contextual hotels with narrative, substance, and locally-rooted restaurants and bars. Artfully designed to bring meaning to life and to the universe.
Since opening the doors to our first House, we set out to tell authentic stories that give meaning to our travels. Designed through the lens of a unique protagonist with local roots, each House reveals the architectural, cultural, and historical nuances of our neighborhoods for travelers in search of new perspectives. We tell our stories, so that you can find moments of exploration and belonging within yours.

The story of each House starts with the protagonist, a character who brings history and local roots into spaces designed for modern travelers. Where morning meetings, restful sleeps and mindful meals are only the start of our story. The rest is a blank page for you to write.

Like any good story, ours seeks to reveal the aspects of our life that are always interesting and sometimes unexpected. These are the nuances that transform our Houses from a place to stay into a community of travelers who value authenticity, meaning, and well-being above all else.

We consider every detail so that our Houses tell thoughtful stories with depth, designed to encourage more meaningful experiences.

We tell true, cohesive stories. From design details to the music you hear, we connect every aspect of your stay to an authentic narrative.

We believe healthy actions have a nourishing ripple effect. From meals to meditations, our Houses take a holistic approach to well-being.

We create spaces for organic human connection. Forming a community allows us to belong to something greater than ourselves.

We know luxury comes from attention to detail, and we carefully consider modern comforts that add personal touches to our Houses.

Whether it’s a locally-rooted meal for your morning routine or a Mediterranean-inspired late-night craving, we've designed veg-forward menus and social spaces suited for locals and travelers alike.

We believe in travel - that it shapes and molds us into who we are and who we will become.

We take pride in bringing depth and subtlety to the hospitality experience. In a market flooded with watered down options and brands dictating experience for their guests, we create an environment that is comfortable and well-appointed for discovery, you take it from there.

Our brand is guided by every property’s unique history and cultural heritage. Our hotels respond to the buildings and neighborhoods in which they live, not the other way around. We craft a bespoke narrative for each hotel, and every design decision is filtered through this narrative.
