The hotel received global recognition, both from guests and media, and was listed as #3 in the βTop 150 Greatest Hotels in the Worldβ by Harperβs Bazaar, amongst other accolades.
Daniella defines SanarΓ‘ spaces as βOffering refuge for those seeking shelter, to breathe into the nurturing embrace of the space we hold, in conscious curated havens where the path to healing is gently held through serene and accommodating lodging, curated nourishment, physical care and wellbeing, and relaxed yet profound introspection.β
The process of creating SanarΓ‘ allowed Daniella to deepen her own path of healing and wellness as she wove the tapestry of what became the SanarΓ‘ experience around her own lifestyle, within SanarΓ‘ spaces, and beyond.
Upcoming SanarΓ‘ spaces are currently in development stages in London and the South East UK.
