Online Booking Service Offers a Selection of Over 1,400 Handpicked Small and Medium-Sized Hotels for International Travelers

BERLIN, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The online booking service for selected hotels, Escapio.com, is offering a handpicked selection of upscale small and medium-size accommodations in Europe, Morocco, South Africa, and Mexico for U.S. travelers: http://www.escapio.com/

"The term 'escapio' is a word play on 'escape' for those seeking refuge, looking to get away from it all," says Escapio.com founder Uwe Frers. "We saw a need for people looking to disconnect and decompress in more personalized ways from the increasing demands of everyday life. Our targeted service made up of a network of over 1,400 extraordinary hotels, keenly addresses these specialized needs."

As many U.S. air carriers offer discounted overseas fares and other incentives, Escapio.com is making the decision to travel easier by offering a range of scout-inspected small and medium-size hotels that in most cases are operated by the actual owners.

Hotel selection is based on demanding criteria that includes originality and a comprehensive sense of style along with unparalleled details such as exquisite charm, location, and service.

The range of handpicked hotels expands over 30 categories including design, romantic, luxury, boutique, honeymoon, and wellness. The Escapio.com hotel-booking service is completely free and can help travelers locate:

-- inspirational accommodations, the right hotel for your lifestyle
-- scout-inspected, unique small and medium-size hotels
-- targeted selections, quality over quantity

"The quality, design, and feel-good factor must be very convincing," says Frers. "Regardless of how much a hotel may want to join Escapio.com, it cannot buy its way onto our website. There's absolutely no compromise surrounding the matter of admission -- each hotel has been selected and rigorously tested by our expert travel scouts, either via a previously announced visit or unperceived by the hotel."

The Escapio.com hotel-booking service currently has over 1,400 unique hotels in 14 countries: Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Chez Republic, Portugal, Greece, Morocco, South Africa, and Mexico. Travelers can search by country, category, and individual interests such as family-oriented, cuisine, athletics, culture, history, adventure or eco-consciousness. "Escapio.com: Selected Hotels. We scout. You enjoy."
