Casai, which comes from ‘casa intelligente,’ is an emerging markets hospitality brand known for its beautiful and intelligent living spaces well suited for the nomadic generation. Each apartment meets a high standard of excellence with luxurious amenities, stunning locally-sourced design and sophisticated smart technology. Every Casai has keyless check-in, a Google Home, Chromecast-powered TVs, high-speed WiFi, and more that can all be controlled from the Casai app. Travelers want authentic experiences in local neighborhoods but also crave the consistent quality hotels offer. Casai brings together both. Each Casai apartment is designed with local influences in mind, including art from local artists, artisanal hand soap and furniture, supporting local communities in Latin America and emerging tourism economies as it infuses fresh capital into the ecosystems. Casai is designing the units to be an interactive exploration / celebration of the local artisans who helped build the space. Through QR codes displayed throughout the apartment, guests can learn about (and purchase from) artists who decorated the apartment. Casai also supports Mexico City’s culture and economy by boosting business for local artisans who create the furniture, amenities and art that style Casai spaces (which are all available for purchase by Casai travelers) and by bringing new business to local businesses and startups. Casai is the only hospitality startup with Latin American roots, giving the team historic local knowledge of culture within the region. Casai currently has nearly 200 spaces in Mexico City with headquarters in Mexico City and offices in São Paulo.
