Who is behind Suite DNA?

Suite DNA was founded by Katy McCann, a member of the founding team of the celebrated Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection, who has personally visited over 2,000 hotels and still travels seven months of every year. She is joined by co-owner Celine Saffray, previously Head of Sales & Marketing and an authority on five-star service shaped at Maybourne Group, Dorchester Collection and Bulgari.

How does Suite DNA work?

Every journey begins with a private conversation about how you like to travel. We then design an itinerary around you, securing the right suites, villas, tables, guides and access, and remain on call throughout your trip so everything runs seamlessly.

Does Suite DNA charge for its service?

We work on a transparent planning basis and, through our preferred-partner relationships with the world's finest hotels, can often secure complimentary upgrades, amenities and benefits that more than offset our fee.

Where can Suite DNA take me?

Anywhere worth going. From private villas in the Mediterranean and overwater retreats in the Maldives to safari in Botswana, supercar road trips through the Alps and women-only journeys with SuiteHer.

Our philosophy

We have always looked
for adventure.

It began with a backpack at seventeen and it has never stopped.

Two decades and more than two thousand hotels later, Suite DNA turns a lifetime of wandering into something far rarer, travel arranged entirely around you. We share not only our own first-hand knowledge, but the insider intelligence of our extraordinary friends and our experts on the ground: the General Manager on WhatsApp, the concierge who opens the closed door, the captain who knows the quiet bay, the maître d' who keeps the table.

Journeys, for her

Considered, women-only travel, freedom, company and quiet luxury in equal measure.

Sublime & seamless from the first call to the last sunset. They think of everything, so you think of nothing.
