Our Story
About Staycation
Staycation is a curated guide to boutique and luxury hotels across Asia, Europe, and beyond — built for travellers who care as much about the stay as the destination.
Most hotel search starts with a price filter. Ours starts with a point of view. Every property on Staycation is hand-selected by our editors — we look for places with a strong sense of identity, thoughtful design, and genuinely warm hospitality. From a heritage shophouse in Singapore to a cliffside ryokan in Hakone, the goal is the same: a stay worth remembering.
Our Criteria
What earns a place in the collection
Character
Independent boutiques, design-led properties, and storied grand hotels with a distinct point of view. No generic chains.
Craft
Attention to detail in the architecture, the service, and the small touches — from the linens to the breakfast.
Place
Hotels that belong to where they are. We favour properties that draw on local culture, materials, and landscape.
Staycation is free to use. When you find a hotel you love, we hand you off to Agoda to complete your reservation — they handle payment, confirmation, and customer support. If you book through one of our links, Agoda pays us a small commission at no extra cost to you. That's how we keep the lights on, and it's why we're picky about what we recommend: we only earn when you actually want to stay.
