Every stay has a story. That simple truth inspired the heart of our brand. When we first started planning our business, we spent days throwing around dozens of names — some creative, some quirky, some just for fun. But we knew we didn’t want just a “nice-sounding” name. We wanted a name with meaning, a name that carried a concept, a feeling, and a promise. That’s when Niraj came up with Stay and Story. The moment we heard it, we knew it was right. It perfectly captured what we wanted to create: not just comfortable stays, but places where our guests could live moments that turn into stories they’ll carry forever. The idea grew from our own travel experiences. The most memorable parts of any trip were never just the rooms or the beds — it was the laughter with strangers who became friends, the peaceful morning coffee with a view, the quiet sunset that felt like it was meant just for us. These moments are what make a stay unforgettable, and we wanted our brand to be about exactly that. Our vision is ambitious yet heartfelt: to create billions of stories through millions of stays. Our first chapter begins with Coco Villa, a property close to our hearts and the foundation of our dream.
