The founders

Built from the search you want to use

Finding Stays was created by two sisters, Emilia and Elizabeth, after spending countless hours searching hotel websites, travel articles and social media for places extraordinary enough to inspire an entire trip. They built Finding Stays to bring those discoveries together in one visual, practical and searchable platform.
