ABOUT ELO
Founded in 2025, Elo is a hospitality group setting a new standard for how boutique stays connect and resonate with travelers. More than a platform, Elo is a creative engine—blending content and commerce to help intentional travelers discover, connect with, and book extraordinary stays.
Inspired by the Portuguese word for connection, Elo reflects our belief in the invisible thread that binds people, places, and experiences together. Through a tightly curated brand ecosystem, we shape editorial narratives that turn inspiration into action and curiosity into lasting connection.
Our philosophy is simple: where you stay shapes how you experience the world. Elo was built to celebrate places that go beyond the expected—where design, intention, and hospitality come together to create experiences that stay with you, long after you've left.
FOR THE INTENTIONAL TRAVELER
At Elo, we build for someone specific.
We create hospitality brands that speak to the intentional traveler—guests who value presence over pace, depth over detachment. They seek more than amenities; they look for meaning, design, and emotional connection.
Why does this matter to our partners?
Because these are the guests who notice the details.
They stay longer.
They return.
They share stories.
They become advocates.
Through Elo, we help thoughtful properties connect with the people who will value them most.

A NOTE FROM
OUR FOUNDER
At Elo, we believe where you stay shapes how you experience the world. In a time when travelers crave connection, it’s inspiring spaces and intentional hospitality that leave the most unforgettable mark.
When I say “we,” I mean myself—Ana Carini Seiford, founder of Elo Hospitality. I was born in Brazil, but my perspective has been shaped by a life lived across continents—drawing on time spent in Asia and North America, where I now call home.
What has always moved me most—no matter where I’ve been—is how certain places make you feel: that quiet, lasting resonance that stays with you long after you’ve left.
That’s why Elo—the Portuguese word for connection—felt so fitting. And why Elo Hotels, our first brand, was born from a desire to honor the emotional resonance of place. Shaped by many influences—soulful design, cultural curiosity, and the belief that hospitality should be as meaningful as it is memorable—Elo reflects a slower, more intentional rhythm of travel. One that begins not with where, but with how it feels.
This belief comes from years of exploring boutique hospitality—both professionally and personally. The places that stayed with me weren’t the most luxurious. They were the most honest—deeply rooted in place, in care, in feeling.
Elo was created to bring those kinds of stays into the light—and to help the people behind them connect with the travelers who will truly value what they offer.
Each of our brands is a passion project, designed not to scale infinitely—but to grow meaningfully. Our goal is simple: to build trusted, editorial-first booking platforms that simplify discovery, foster lasting guest relationships, and elevate intentional hospitality across the board.
If you’re building something thoughtful, we’d love to be in conversation.
