At Inhabit Hotels, we believe that travel should be as restorative and responsible as it is enriching. That’s why we’re proud to announce our new partnership with Byway, a travel company pioneering flight-free holidays across the UK and Europe.
This summer, guests can begin and end their mindful journeys at Inhabit Southwick Street or Inhabit Queen’s Gardens – both just a short stroll from Paddington Station – before setting off on one of three bespoke, flight-free itineraries curated by Byway. Whether you’re drawn to windswept Cornish coastlines, the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands, or the canal-threaded cities of the Netherlands, these slow travel routes invite you to savour the journey as much as the destination.
Three Curated Journeys. Zero Flights.
Byway’s itineraries are thoughtfully designed to offer low-carbon adventures that celebrate local culture and nature:
- Cornwall: Travel west from London and trace the winding railways of Cornwall, where relaxed, sea-kissed towns like St Ives, St Erth, Padstow, and Bodmin await. Think wild coastlines, fresh sea air, and that irresistible soft coastal light. These slow-paced towns invite travellers to unwind, wander, and savour the simple pleasures of a life lived by the sea
- Scotland: Head north through Edinburgh to the mountain town of Aviemore, before riding the Kyle Line – Britain’s only train route spanning both east and west coasts. Along the way, take in the misty lochs, soaring highlands, and remote beauty of Fort William and Inverness. It’s a journey made for those who seek silence, space, and nature in all its untamed glory.
- The Netherlands: Begin with a Eurostar adventure beneath the Channel, then emerge into a patchwork of canal-laced cities. From Haarlem to Amsterdam, Delft and Utrecht, this route takes you through urban gems rich in elegant architecture, vibrant street life and cultural heritage – all with the added charm of travelling at a slower, more thoughtful pace.
Each trip is powered by Byway’s pioneering tech and local knowledge, allowing for spontaneity, personal touches and a deeper connection to the places you visit.
Wellness Meets Sustainability
Our collaboration with Byway is more than a partnership – it’s a meeting of values. Both Inhabit and Byway are proud B Corporations, committed to positive environmental and social impact.
Before setting off, guests can ground themselves in our calming interiors, explore London by bike, or unwind with a spa treatment. And when the journey comes to a close, Inhabit is the perfect place to come home to – refreshed, reflective, and guilt-free.
Why Flight-Free Travel?
Train travel emits over 90% less carbon than flying, making it one of the most sustainable ways to explore. It’s not just better for the planet – it’s better for the soul. Slowing down allows for deeper connections, unexpected discoveries, and time to breathe.
As Samantha van Exter, Head of Hotels at Montcalm Collection, puts it:
“Our guests seek more than just beautiful rooms – they travel with intention. Our partnership with Byway enables them to carry that intention throughout their entire journey.”
Ready to Travel Differently?
Whether you’re craving a coastal escape, a highland adventure, or a cultural city-hop, our itineraries with Byway invite you to travel consciously and reconnect with nature.
