Founded in 2001, i-escape curates a handpicked collection of boutique hotels, B&Bs, villas, and apartments for discerning, affluent travelers worldwide. Properties listed on i-escape differentiate and elevate themselves in a way that is more difficult to accomplish on less-selective OTAs, resulting in improved visibility to target clientele.
