Our story

A passion for design and storytelling

Back in 2012, the seed was planted.  We had a vision to create something truly special inhospitality. A business that would partner up with investors, real estate, and brands to create next-level guest and employee experiences that had never been seen before. We are proud to be different, and as white-label operators of respected global hotel brands, we leverage our deep understanding of the hotel and hospitality markets and our industry connections with great care. From the moment we opened our very first hotel in Sindelfingen in 2013, our innovative start-up mindset has created a team of passionate hospitality specialists who are determined to offer exceptional guest experiences. Going the extra mile is just how we roll.

In 2016 our vision was born

A pivotal moment

HOTEL NASSAU BREDA SETS A NEW STANDARD

2016 was the moment we opened the first hotel  that was entirely conceived, designed and transformed by a dedicated Odyssey team. The combination of a strong sense of storytelling with cutting-edge design makes Hotel Nassau Breda a destination on its own. The unique historical venue tells the ancient stories of a time nobility inhabited the building, as well as the days long ago when nuns housed local children[bd1]. The unexpected combination of the old architecture balanced with innovative interior design means that every guest has an unforgettable stay.

Effortless style

Throughout Odyssey we encourage everyone to embrace Sprezzatura – the Italian mindset of a life lived with effortless style and a passion for every detail. This Italian word means so much to our teams and is a wonderful reminder to make every moment matter. Sprezzatura: (n) The ability to make one’s actions seem effortless
