Introducing Kiwi Collection

THE COMPANY

Discerning travelers want the best: a bed that satisfies even more than the one at home; interior and exterior spaces that stimulate the senses; service that puts the guest above all else; and in the end, an experience unlike any other.

Where do discerning travelers find such places? Welcome to Kiwi Collection.


From the quaintest inns to trend-setting hotels, from high-end ranches and lodges to the most luxurious of resorts – whatever the size, whatever the affiliation – Kiwi Collection features only the best places to stay in its publications, both in print and online.

The Kiwi Collection website makes finding that perfect place a snap. Or, should that be a click? Travelers can customize their search criteria based on destination, lifestyle, interests and much, much more. Once visitors discover the place that suits them best, they can link through to the property and reserve their accommodations directly.

Participation in Kiwi Collection publications by the inns, ranches, lodges, resorts and hotels is by invitation only.
On an on-going basis, the Kiwi team thoroughly researches, scrutinizes and evaluates properties. Less than one percent of all places to stay in the world are ever invited.

Whether on business, a family vacation, or an escape for a romantic getaway, discriminating travelers can rest assured that when they choose a property recommended by Kiwi Collection, they have found not only a destination that suits their lifestyle but a masterpiece in the fine art of overnight hospitality.

Why the Kiwi in Kiwi Collection? It is pronounced the same in almost every major language. As luxury accommodations appeal to a global audience, Kiwi Collection was designed to be universally accessible. And like the kiwifruit, the company tries to be fresh and full of flavor in everything it does. After all, every journey in life should be a rich, rare and succulent experience, so enjoy your travels.
