🚨 Damage protection – peace of mind included 🚨

To ensure a hassle-free experience, accidental damage protection is included as a fixed amount per night.

It replaces the traditional security deposit and covers accidental damage up to $50,000 for eligible stays.* Very few accommodations offer this type of protection!

The result:
✔️ No security deposit required
✔️ A simple, guided process in case of the unexpected
✔️ A seamless, elegant, and uncompromising experience
Because luxury is also about peace of mind. 😇

Although this protection generally replaces the security deposit, we reserve the right to require an additional deposit in certain specific situations, assessed on a case-by-case basis. This measure is rare and purely preventive.
*Certain conditions and exclusions apply. Details available upon request.
