The word “querido” means cherished—something we hold close as we work with our hoteliers, travel experts, and, of course, you.

Querido founder, Carlos Quereda, was inspired during his decade-long tenure at the Marbella Club on Spain’s Costa de Sol. Every morning he watched the resort’s co-founder, Count Rudolph von Schönburg, personally greet staff and guests, creating connections that fueled lifelong friendships with the hotel.

It’s this generosity, inclusiveness, and curiosity that we seek to fulfill with Querido—whether you’re a traveller, a hotelier, or one of our Rockstars.

We help family-owned hotels flourish by supporting their growth within the North American and European markets, and creating connections that last a lifetime.
