Michael and his wife were searching for a much needed vacation as covid rules across the world began to subside. They dreamed of staying in a beautiful castle, but the search was rather difficult and the historic properties were particularly hard to find. After hours and hours of research, Michael finally found the perfect property… a property where his family lineage could actually be traced! The decision to book that property was a no brainer. This experiential feeling at the interaction of exploration and history lead him to find co-founders with deep and rich experience (40+ years) in travel and hospitality to start Storied, a collection of the most richly historic and enjoyable places to stay in the world.
Our mission is to build the finest historic castle and estate hotel collection while empowering our members through community. Storied will also enable our guests access to the most unique stays and experiences, leaving lasting memories and a deeper knowledge of history.
