OUR PHILOSOPHY.
A WAY OF LIFE.

We are Aparium Hotel Group: a management company with a portfolio of distinctive hotels where each detail is considered and every corner, cocktail, and conversation is crafted with intention. We don't replicate. We reimagine.

Our commitment to the character of each neighborhood means we seek out untold stories, celebrate the rhythm of the seasons, and cultivate dynamic experiences that resonate with the local community. 

From thoughtful design to intuitive care, our foundation is built on service, attitude, and culture – always inspiring, always inspired, and without ego. We invite you to experience a stay that is truly different.

Aparium was founded in 2011 by Chicago hospitality executive Mario Tricoci and a select group of collaborators, from a belief that true hospitality thrives when fueled by the spirit of its surroundings. We saw the chance for energy in some of our favorite cities, celebrating their unadulterated character.​

Since then, we've ventured off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically, shaping a new kind of hotel brand that thrives in unexpected places as well as major cities. We combine a deep understanding of hospitality with the singular charm of independent properties, bringing them to life in vibrant markets.

You'll find our influence in places like the re-emergent downtown Detroit, the burgeoning North Loop of Minneapolis, Kansas City’s flourishing Crossroads district, With each opening, we add our passion and care to the cultural landscape, inviting you to discover a different way to experience a city.
