Highstay

What Highstay does

Highstay (legal entity SNC HIGHSTAY) is a Paris-based, privately held Société en Nom Collectif founded in 2020 that operates a portfolio of more than 50 luxury furnished apartments across the most prestigious districts of central Paris — including Champs-Élysées, Louvre-Rivoli, Le Marais, Tour Eiffel, Saint-Honoré, Palais Royal, Invalides, and Montmartre — under sub-brands HIGHSTAY (core), HIGHSTAY SIGNATURE (premium tier including Iéna I and Poincaré), HIGHSTAY MAISONS (multi-unit buildings at Boétie, Pyramides, and Vintimille), and HIGHSTAY VILLAS (Villa Coachella in Saint-Tropez, Villa Infinity and Villa Escondida in Ibiza). The company rents on both short-stay (1-13 nights, from approximately €250/night for a Vintimille studio up to €2,800/night for a three-bedroom) and extended-stay (monthly and longer, under seasonal rental contract) bases, with pricing supplemented by quote-based rates for signature units and optional à la carte services such as private chefs, chauffeurs, and wellness treatments.

The underlying technology stack is a digital booking and property management platform on highstay.com, supported by smart-home infrastructure in each unit: secure digital key/code access for autonomous check-in, climate control, high-speed fiber Wi-Fi, and sound-level sensors that alert staff above 70 decibels to protect building relationships. The platform is direct-to-consumer only — no third-party marketplace listings — with bookings via SSL-secured website checkout (credit card, Mastercard/Visa/AMEX supported) and inside-sales support via phone (+33 1 76 40 25 25), WhatsApp, and email for groups and extended stays.

The business model is asset-heavy real-estate-as-hospitality: revenue is generated per nightly stay, per monthly extended stay, per villa rental, and per add-on concierge service, with a 50% deposit to confirm and a 7-day cancellation window. The corporate structure is a parent SNC HIGHSTAY with at least seven wholly-owned operating SNC subsidiaries covering management services (HS MANAGEMENT), property collections (SNC HS PROPERTIES), individual building operations, and extended stay services (SNC HS LONG TERM), with Michael DAYAN serving as Directeur de la publication. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across affluent leisure travelers, families and large groups (4-16 guests), and corporate/business travelers requiring central, multi-bedroom accommodations.

Direct peers

• TheSqua.re: TheSqua.re is a London-based operator of luxury serviced apartments across major cities, including Paris. Directly comparable on luxury serviced apartment positioning, hotel-style amenities, and short/long-stay flexibility.
• Plum Guide: Plum Guide curates and operates luxury short-stay vacation rentals in premium European cities including Paris, with a vetting/quality-testing process similar in spirit to Highstay's signature design and concierge standard. Directly comparable on product, audience, and DTC booking model.
• OneFineStay: OneFineStay (acquired by Accor) operates a curated portfolio of luxury serviced vacation rentals in major global cities including Paris. Same product category (high-end furnished apartments with hotel services), same target customer (affluent travelers), and same direct-to-consumer booking model as Highstay.
• StayOne: StayOne is a curated luxury vacation rental brand offering premium homes and villas in Europe and beyond. Comparable on luxury positioning, curated inventory, and concierge-style service; overlaps in customer base with Highstay's villa offerings.
• Le Collectionist: Le Collectionist is a French-headquartered luxury vacation rental operator specializing in high-end villas and apartments across Europe (including Paris and Saint-Tropez). Directly overlaps with Highstay's apartments-plus-villas mix and luxury traveler positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts (incl. Private Residences): Four Seasons competes for affluent Paris travelers through its George V property and offers branded private residences globally. Comparable on luxury guest experience, concierge service standard, and Signature-tier pricing — but as a global hotel incumbent rather than an apartment operator.
• Airbnb Luxe: Airbnb Luxe is the luxury tier of Airbnb, offering vetted high-end vacation rentals globally including Paris. Overlaps directly in product category and customer segment, but operates as part of Airbnb's broader marketplace rather than as a pure-play curated brand.
• Cheval Blanc Paris (LVMH): Cheval Blanc is LVMH's ultra-luxury hotel brand, with its flagship Paris property competing for the same ultra-high-net-worth traveler segment as Highstay's Signature apartments. Comparable customer and Paris luxury positioning, but operates as a 5-star hotel rather than a rental operator.
• Sonder (Cassecroute / Sonesta International): Sonder operates a global portfolio of serviced apartments and aparthotels combining apartment space with hotel-grade service. Comparable business model (aparthotel with concierge), though broader in geography and price tier than Highstay's Paris-focused luxury positioning.
• Vrbo (Expedia) Luxury Tier: Vrbo is a major vacation rental marketplace with a growing premium segment. Competes for short-stay travelers in Paris and leisure destinations; comparable on product but very different on distribution model (marketplace vs. Highstay's DTC concierge model).
