At STORY Hospitality we believe that a parity offering is not enough. We aim to create hospitality experiences that embrace progress, inspiration, and that challenge the norm. We seek to add something meaningful to our guests’ travel experience so that their inspiration comes not just from the destination but also from their hotel stay.”
Currently, STORY Hospitality has 555 rooms, spread across five properties located in Dubai, Rabat, Podgorica and Seychelles.

Our operating beliefs are unique, we aim to inspire guests — to ignite new passions and to prompt new dreams, so we create transformative experiences. We want guests to be surprised by how they see, how they feel, and how they think after staying with us” added Capaccioli.
