Contrasts to Mass-Market Hospitality

Not Optimized for Simplistic Procedures, Basic Consumer Affordability, or Ostentatiousness

• Compartmentalized Confidentiality

  We are structured for confidential hospitality, not for those who are seeking overt luxury. Our unique structure is designed for business productivity and, secondarily, to enable our clients to relax with loved ones. Those same protocols would be frustrating, untimely, and cumbersome for travelers who are not willing to trade efficiency for security.

• Unmarked Units

  Because of our focus providing discreetly protective hospitality in locations that cannot be readily identified, we do not have the plush surroundings customary of a luxury hotel. We do not have named facilities, and we do not provide a front desk. Locations are confidential; we retrieve you from the airport or other transportation hub.

  If you would like a grandiose experience, there are many luxury hotels that provide ostentatiousness.  We are exclusively for friendly, peaceful people whose circumstances require anonymity and protected confidentiality.

  Please click here for more information about our facilities arrangements.

• Supplemental Amenities

  Limited Amenities on Site

  

  Safehouse protocols do not allow for a traditional hotel, and specifically not a front desk; therefore, to enable full-service luxury, we must maintain a system of remote coordination.

  Supplemental and Remote Resources

  

  Inherent to safehouse concepts, we cannot have a hotel structure.  We instead provide for 24-hour complimentary off-book transportation to supplemental amenities with proxy access, for a far more sophisticated and extensive set of business-relevant services than any hotel to our knowledge.

• Complex and Individualized Services

  Multiple elements of our safehouse paradigm disable us from having the immediate resources and high-volume consumer efficiency that would be customary of a substantial hotel. Instead, we provide dignitary-style individualized sophistication to accommodate sensitive business complexities. Procedures are based on a professional-services firm, not a retail operation. Packages of our Executive Collection provide for dedicated staffing for swift sophistication, but Signature and Rabbit Hole Refuge require remote coordination.

  Please click here for our page of general policies, which provides links for detailed topics.

• Accounting

  Payment processing and deposits refunding differ from hotel customs of credit-card processing. Mainstream leisure travelers are misaligned with our focus on privacy and extremely sensitive billing for executive, US foreign-affairs subcontractors, and attorney-trust accounts.

  Please click here for the page that explains how we do not have a front desk for on-site processing processing. The page provides links for other related topics of finance.

• Loyally Cordial Interactions

  Many people imagine that dignitary interactions are pompous and formal. Behind closed doors, most people who are successful in diplomacy and/or politics--as with our other core markets of financiers, high-profile individuals, and executives--are inherently friendly and self-comfortable. We are honored by the friendships cultivated by those who depend on our personal loyalty and sophisticated diligence to support their interests.

  To avoid various risks of soft targets, contracted service providers will usually only know you by an alias and us by a mundane business name. If you are prominently known, your concierge will coordinate to avoid your being subjected to indiscreet VIP giddiness or news-maker awkwardness. Housekeepers, chambermaids, and other basic hospitality providers should always be respectful, congenial, warmly attentive, extraordinarily accommodating, and excellently through--regardless of their personal inconveniences or circumstances. We genuinely want to know if there is any aberration of being caring and supportive. Please inform your concierge if you experience any wavering of warmhearted kindness, thoroughness, or anti-surveillance protectiveness.

• Client Development for Professional Services

  As explained by clicking here, our hospitality services are a cost center, not intended for significant net profits, analogous to the profit model of casinos and luxury real estate developments. The greatly appreciated benefits to mischaracterized political leaders and legal clients inspired us to provide our services to the public as a marketing venue.

  We are not efficiently structured for ordinary hospitality, as explained by clicking here.  Examples of losses to us pertaining specifically in contrast to routine hospitality wherein guests are far from being 100% brand loyal, at any cost or distance, we incur financial and security losses for one-time visits by mainstream travelers and by those who only stay with us for a few days.

Information about Reviews

• Misaligned Impetus to Topic of Reviews

  Misaligned Impetus to Topic of Reviews

  Small quantity of reviews about us on travel sites,
  despite over a thousand verified, prepaid bookings via online travel agencies

  People are occasionally curious about the proportionately small quantity of reviews about us on online travel agencies, despite how we have had thousands of verified, prepaid reservations through online travel agencies, since making ourselves available to the public, instead of being purely private. Our core markets generally stay away from anywhere that would have detailed reviews, but we are grateful for the high quality of reviews from relevant, longtime clients of our core markets who provide competent and informative reviews.

  

  Merely asking the question about reviews would suggest that someone is not a member of our core markets, and we (again) would recommend that such individuals would instead stay at a traditional hotel. Our primary niches are profiled by clicking here. Anyone who is within our niches would seek to maintain a low profile.

  The longstanding culture among the honorable professionals of some of our niches involves using deliberately vague verbiage with specifically understood definitions. In their context, the "way of life" pertains to an ingrained sense of self-aware discreetness. To post anything online with inherent acknowledgments of travel destinations and schedules would be a foolish and needless exposure. Regardless, most of our clients are extremely busy high-profile and/or high-risk wealthy individuals, and most such individuals do not spend their time writing amateur reviews.

  Almost everyone in certain professions of foreign relations and high security maintains a constant way of life that includes being discreet. Congruent with safehouse fundamentals, our longtime clients know that we historically never had an interior or exterior picture of any safehouse-related facility, even if merely to convey a concept, and that we certainly never published any related address (or neighborhood whereabouts) in any publicly accessible medium, even being careful about only using single-instance corporate holdings of real estate leases (not ownership).

  An introductory explanation of the value of such professionals is provided by clicking here.

• Micro-Cultures

  Niches Drawing Ire from Micro-Cultures

  People and businesses in covert fields related to ours draw the ire of extremely antagonistic and anarchist groups:

  • conspiracy theorists who use malice, libel, and tortious business interruption against the types of people they believe are trying to hurt them;
  • anti-capitalists (especially those who do not like investment bankers and corporate executives);
  • those who do not comprehend the peacekeeping benefits of clandestine foreign affairs;
  • those who are spiteful or jealous towards successful leaders (actually, conspicuous consumption is contrary to the interests of our discretion-oriented clients, but some people instantly associate our high prices with being for luxury—not primarily for security);
  • people who tend to jump to conclusions and to assume the worst; and
  • various other acerbic groups.

   

  

   
• Verified Reviews

  Online Travel Services that Verify Each Submission

  Fortunately, some online travel services only accept reviews of their customers who have been verified to have reserved and to have completed the relevant travel.

  Inevitably, now that we offer services to the general public, some members of those aforementioned groups will stumble into reservations with us, and we only hope that they will use extremely careful precision and not to stray into libel or other tortious misdeeds.

Contrasts against Mass Markets

Exemplified Niches

• Legal Clients

  Legal Clients

  We should explain about how our legal-services market segment tends to be averse to online posts. Our concept partially originated as a service to legal clients, for whom our associated attorneys who enable privacy while aggressively and sophisticatedly responding to defamation, libel, slander, breaches of confidentiality, business interruption, and other tortious damages.

  
• IC of USA Friendlies

  IC of USA Friendlies

  Some consumers do not automatically consider that clients who hold the deepest and most grateful loyalties to us customarily would regard an online review--despite being thoroughly positive—as normally having harmful or risky effects.

  Almost everyone in certain relevant professions of USA/UK/Israeli-friendly foreign relations and high security maintains a constant way of life that includes being discreet. Congruent with safehouse fundamentals, our longtime clients know that we historically never had an interior or exterior picture of any safehouse-related facility, even if merely to convey a concept, and that we certainly never published any related address (or neighborhood whereabouts) in any publicly accessible medium--being careful about only using single-instance corporate holdings of real estate leases (not ownership).

  (Anyone reading this who is a member of the IC would know about the bureaucratic role changes of lawyers and financial executives in the field.  We are from the Cold War generations.  In the 1990s, there was a dramatic change of roles and legal-related culture.)

  In this way of life, to post anything about one's opinions of brethren, positively or negatively, would be--at best--irresponsibly dangerous, or could even be treasonously selfish.  Under the circumstance wherein we represent a vital service, on which clients sensitively depend for their security and the security of others, the natural stance would be to protect that fragile resource with discretion.  To post a review would go against the fundamental reasons to stay with us.  Inherently, nobody from our core markets would want to stay somewhere with excessively publicized details, regardless of the format.  The requests to loyal clients for online reviews was met by enthusiastic willingness to be supportive, coupled with a nervousness of asking what could be written online.

  Some consumers are naïve in believing that an ostensibly anonymous post cannot be easily traced (no, a simple VPN is insufficient).

  Concepts of familial culture abound in the IC, and we care for our clients with family-like discretion. Therefore, nobody in our core markets would ever think to waste their time whining or pretentiously evaluating consumer-style hospitality.  To our knowledge, we have never had a client from our core communities who determined that we did not provide sufficient care, thereby deciding against using us in the future (although some have decided that they cannot justify our expense, which is reasonable and understandable).

  With images distorted by movies that attempt to integrate exciting elements of renegade action-filled heroism, most members of relevant communities would be better described as self-sacrificially loyal heroes.  To avoid misunderstanding, we should mention widespread philosophies in the friendlies IC of entrepreneurially pro-capitalistic self-reliance.  Trust, loyalty, and duty are all constantly vital.
