Character
We design with feeling, celebrate imperfection, and craft spaces that carry the soul of their surroundings. Layered, lived-in, and quietly beautiful.
About
Crafting places
to belong.
That’s why I created Liv Places — a play on my name and a reflection of the spirit behind the brand: places that help people live well, feel welcome, and feel connected wherever they stay. Our vision is to make every stay feel like somewhere you truly belong, however long you’re with us. Not through sameness, but through warmth, welcome, and friendly, thoughtful service. Each Liv Place celebrates local character, conscious design, and meaningful connection, helping you settle in, feel cared for, connected to the neighbourhood, and ready to explore.

Who We Are
"After more than 25 years in hospitality, I've helped shape some of the industry's most culturally relevant brands — from the original Hoxton to Ace Hotel London, and most recently, Native Places."
Through that journey, I've seen the power of authentic, community-driven hospitality — and the growing need for spaces that reflect how people actually want to live and travel today.
Liv Places is a new way to stay — design-led, community-rooted, and quietly beautiful. We create warm, welcoming places that celebrate local character, conscious design, and meaningful connection, helping every guest feel at home, connected to the neighbourhood, and ready to explore — however long they’re with us.
More than places to stay, we're crafting places to belong.

Welcome
Real comfort is not found in sameness. It's found in warmth, welcome, and human care — the art of feeling at home, wherever you are.
