Residences and palace hotels
A suite when the week is short or formal. A villa or a chalet when the party intends to live in the place. The building follows the life, not the photograph.
The residence is where the stay is either calm or not. A beautiful room cannot repair a building that is in the wrong part of the city, or a house that takes two days to inhabit. Elaris Private chooses, prepares and holds the place: a palace-hotel suite, a private villa, a chalet. The category is decided by the brief, not by a preference for one kind of luxury.
A suite is right for three or four nights, for a meeting that will happen in the residence, and for a party that wants to be looked after without employing a household. A villa or a chalet is right when there are children, a kitchen that will actually be used, and enough nights to justify the keys.
Preparation is the work
Arrival should feel as if the place had been waiting, not as if it had been opened that afternoon. Flowers if they were asked for, none if they were not. A temperature. A kitchen that knows the first meal. Cars that can reach the door. Names used as the party asked them to be used.
In a hotel, this is a conversation with the house. In a villa, it is a household stood up for the length of the stay and then stood down. Both are done properly or not at all. A half-prepared house is worse than a simple suite.
No catalogue
There is no public list of buildings, and there will not be one. Publishing an address is the opposite of the work. Tell us the city, the dates, the number of people, and what must be true when the door opens. The house will propose a place that can do that, and will say when the request is asking a building to be something it is not.
