After years of exploring the world with large international hotel brands and smaller boutique start-ups, Marc and Tami are a hospitality couple that are combining their shared global experiences to bring to Berlin The MATASOTA, their first sustainable boutique hotel and conference concept.

The MATASOTA is a project fuelled by their passions – sustainability, whimsical details and people, not only their guests and their community but also their associates. Having lived and worked in ten countries for over the last 20 years both together and independently they enjoy the cultural diversity, the personal uniqueness and the individual stories of the people they have had the fortunate opportunity to encounter.

Like the people with whom they have connected, Marc and Tami have a story to tell too.

Tami: World travels

Tami gradulates with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. To quench her thirst for new countries, cultures and people, she backpacks a total of 20 countries within a year.
