About Us
01
On Beginnings
PackandHop began with a simple instinct. Travel feels better when it is
considered, not crowded by choice or noise. From the outset, it worked closely
with a certain kind of traveller, one who cared less about ticking destinations and
more about how a stay felt once they arrived.
02
On Learning What Lasts
Over time, this instinct shaped P&H’s work.
Patterns emerged. Certain properties aged better. Certain rooms
mattered more. Certain views stayed quiet.
Without naming it, P&H began serving a niche that valued restraint, taste,
and ease.
03
On Bringing It Forward
Today, Élitaire brings that way of working forward.
A private members’ travel club built around thoughtful stays, seasonal
curation, and personal discretion. Designed to remain precise, not loud.
This is not P&H becoming something new.
It is P&H becoming more itself.

On What We Don’t Do
- We don’t offer endless listings.
- We don’t optimise for discounts or flash sales.
- We don’t rush decisions or automate taste.
- We work slowly, selecting only what holds up over time.
- Every stay is chosen with context, timing, and care in mind.
- Élitaire is designed to stay deliberate.
- Not larger. Not louder. Just right.
05
On Experiences
- We don’t believe every stay needs activity layered onto it.
- But when something is added, it should belong.
- Experiences within Élitaire are offered only when they feel natural to the place and the moment.
- Nothing staged. Nothing excessive.
- Just small additions that sit comfortably within the stay
Where You Go Says Less Than Why You Return.
First impressions are easy to design. What’s harder is consistency, how a place feels after familiarity sets in. We focus on stays that people choose again.
