About us: Introducing escapio

escapio team at work


At escapio, everything revolves around creating unique travel experiences – for people who aren’t just looking for any hotel, but that one special place with the certain something that turns their getaway into an unforgettable memory.

Our story

The story of escapio begins – like many unforgettable journeys – with a deeply personal experience: founder Uwe Frers’ honeymoon in Tuscany. In search of a hotel that wasn’t just beautiful, but truly special, he realized how difficult it was to uncover real hidden gems. From that search came an idea. And from the idea, a platform: escapio.

For more than 20 years, we’ve been helping travelers find exactly that: the right hotel for their getaway; far from the ordinary, close to the extraordinary. Our handpicked selection is made for those who value style, atmosphere, and more, whether it’s in a historic palazzo, a design hotel with sweeping views, or a tucked-away hideout by the sea.

Based in the heart of Berlin and led by Anette Toedt and Helene Hettl, our team is passionate about one thing: creating travel experiences where memories are made – digital, inspiring, and forward-thinking.

What has driven us from day one? The desire to create unique travel experiences. For everyone who doesn’t just want a place to stay, but a place where memories are made.
