We believe that art, like travel, can change how we see the world – it challenges ideas and pushes boundaries – and by bringing them together we create exceptional moments and lifelong memories.
Art House Collection is a luxury home rental and culture concierge platform that brings a curated portfolio of one-of-a-kind properties and art experiences to discerning travelers. Chosen for their design-forward architecture and art-filled interiors, the Art House Collection portfolio of homes – from beach bungalows and chic city spaces to countryside cottages and heritage homes – provides travelers with a unique luxury alternative to traditional villa rentals and hotel stays.
‘Travel like a local’ is our philosophy, and the team's up-to-the-minute knowledge of the art and dining scene gives our guests unprecedented access to authentic, luxury travel experiences.

At In Residence, we are dedicated to giving back and ensuring that as we grow, the communities around us prosper, too.
To us, the concept of hospitality is inextricably linked with ensuring the well-being and upliftment of the communities within which we operate and the entire ecosystem underpinning our services.
In this spirit, we are delighted to share two exciting developments in our mission: the creation of the In Residence Foundation and the In Residence Academy. Both initiatives are deeply rooted in transformative change and sustainable development, focusing on supporting NGO programmes and hospitality-industry skills training, respectively.
