Creating places with a soul

Some places stay with you long after you leave. Not simply because of how they look, but because of how they make you feel. The warmth of natural materials, the beauty of handcrafted details and the quiet elegance of spaces designed with intention. Founded by Arnaud Zannier, Zannier Hotels was born from a passion for hospitality, craftsmanship and timeless design. Today, that same philosophy extends beyond our hotels through Zannier Design Studio, our integrated creative studio dedicated to hospitality and residential projects. The Studio brings together architecture, interior design, styling and hospitality expertise, approaching every project holistically, from the first concept to the smallest finishing detail.

Design rooted in place

Every Zannier project begins with its surroundings.

Rather than imposing a recognisable aesthetic, we seek to understand the architecture, landscape, culture and history of a place, creating spaces that feel as though they have always belonged there.

Our philosophy is guided by three principles:

  • Culture, creating places rooted in their location and heritage;
  • Nature, embracing natural materials, light and landscape;
  • and Authenticity, favouring timeless interiors that feel personal rather than fashionable.

This also connects naturally with the existing Zannier positioning: the brand already describes its approach as artisan-led, with materials, furniture, art and artefacts selected to tell the story of each destination.

From hospitality to home

For guests who fall in love with the atmosphere of a Zannier property, the experience can continue at home.

From Mediterranean villas and countryside estates to mountain chalets and city residences, Zannier Design Studio creates private homes that celebrate their surroundings and are designed to stand the test of time.

Our multidisciplinary team curates every detail, from natural materials and bespoke furniture to antiques, art and handcrafted finishes, to create homes that are as beautiful to live in as they are to look at.
