01, The Idea

Travel is not a passion. It is an art.

Novelle Hotels is a curated collection of independently-owned places to stay, chosen for character, sense of place, and the small details that turn a trip into a memory.

Every property is vetted in person. Every booking made on Novelle comes with member perks the OTAs can't match. No two stays alike.

Headquartered in the United Kingdom
02, Why Book Direct

Six reasons to book with Novelle.

Every stay reserved through Novelle includes our member perks, at no cost, no membership fee, and no fine print. The OTAs simply can't.

01

Best Rate Guarantee

Find a lower public rate elsewhere and we'll match it, plus 10% off your stay.

02

Welcome Amenity

A glass of something local, a thoughtful turndown, or chef's signature bite, on the house.

03

Early Check-in & Late Check-out

Subject to availability, but we always ask. You travel on your own clock.

04

Complimentary Upgrade

Where the calendar allows, you'll arrive to a better room than the one you booked.

05

Atelier Credit

Every confirmed stay earns credit toward your next Novelle booking. No tiers, no expiry.

06

Human Concierge

Real people, replying within hours. Itineraries, restaurants, the table you actually wanted.
