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.
45+ Cities
Carefully curated locations across England, Scotland, and Wales.
100k+ Stays
Trusted by travelers from all over the world to provide a home away from home.
