Our Story

Redefining the way you experience British hospitality.

Born in the Heart of London

Founded in 2021, Sanctuary Stays began with a simple observation: finding a truly unique, boutique experience in UK cities was harder than it should be. We wanted to move away from the "cookie-cutter" hotel chains and highlight the character of our local streets.

Today, we partner with over 500 independent properties across the UK—from historic Georgian townhouses in Bath to modern industrial lofts in Manchester.
