Our Founders

Founded by German Daniel Simcovich & Georgia Whalen

Miami Beach's First Exclusive Airbnb Hotel — In 2018, we transformed a historic Art Deco boutique hotel in Miami Beach into the first property built entirely around Airbnb—no front desk, just a welcoming bar, app-based check-in, and 24/7 digital concierge. It changed everything. Local operators and international brands soon followed, adopting the model Casita pioneered.

Reinventing the Hotel Experience — We took a conventional hotel and transformed it with next-generation hospitality software, smart technology hardware, and a warm, design-driven interior that feels like home—outperforming traditional operators by over 40% in revenue

Airbnb Superhost Advisory Panel — Selected among elite hosts worldwide to shape the future of hospitality alongside Airbnb leadership

Our Mission — Curating a global collection of boutique hotels rooted in the culture and character of each destination — because a room is never the destination, it's the gateway to experiencing a place like a true local
