About Zolo – Why We Exist Zolo exists because living away from home should not feel like a struggle. Whether it’s a student stepping into a new city, a young professional building a career, or a traveler seeking comfort — every individual deserves dignity, warmth, and thoughtfully run spaces.

Across co-living, hotels, student housing, and vacations, Zolo has built one of the most diverse and high-quality living and hospitality platforms in the country. What sets us apart is not ambition or scale— it is our commitment to delivering quality consistently.

We are here to create human-first hospitality experiences — where safety is felt, service is genuine, and needs are addressed before they turn into complaints.

We believe: ● Excellence is a standard, not a milestone — we don’t settle for “working” when we know what “great” looks like ● Consistency creates trust — quality matters only when it shows up every day ● Ideas matter only when execution is deep and sustained ● Standards live through ownership and accountability

About Z Hotels – The Vertical You’ll Join Z Hotels is Zolo’s hospitality vertical — boutique, modern, and experience-led. Our restaurants are not add-ons to the hotel; they are social spaces where guests connect, unwind, and return for more. With new properties launching, we are building teams that care deeply about service, standards, and people. You are not inheriting a running system — you are helping build it.
