LIFE HOUSE BRAND PILLARS:

THOUGHTFUL Being thoughtful means considering each detail in the context of our larger objectives. We remain thoughtful through research and looking beyond the surface to find deeper stories and create more meaningful experiences.

AUTHENTIC Being authentic means telling a true and cohesive story. From interior design to uniforms, menus,programming, music, and the people we hire, authenticity creates a cohesive story that serves as a point of connection for our guests.

HEALTHY We believe that a healthy action has a ripple effect that promotes more healthy behavior. A healthy meal, morning meditation or even a generous conversation with our staff can galvanize a world movement.

COMMUNITY ORIENTED Being community-oriented means we create spaces and experiences built for organic human connection. Meeting new people through travel, especially locals, allows guests to feel like they belong.

MODERN LUXURY We believe luxury is a function of attention to detail, communication, generosity and access to authentic experiences. We must create spaces where our guests feel taken care of, that they're getting an experience that feels personal and unique.
