Hotel Instagram accounts worth studying, and the question to take into each one
Updated 9 November 2026 · Written by Reyansh Juneja and Naman Dhiman, the co-founders of SOVE7GN, who run the campaigns and review the clips
The hotel Instagram accounts worth your time are the ones solving a problem you also have: one account covering many properties, a single estate with no sister hotels, a brand whose rooms all look alike, a restaurant that outgrew the hotel. Below are eight accounts, with the handle taken from each hotel's own website on 9 November 2026, and the specific question to take into each one.
Short answer: Study Aman, Belmond, Rosewood, 1 Hotels, Faena, Auberge Collection, Nobu Hotels and Blackberry Farm. Each solves a different problem: many properties in one feed, several travel formats, a house style across continents, a positioning that is not architecture, a single estate with no portfolio. We checked every handle against the hotel's own site, and we deliberately give no follower counts, because we did not read them ourselves.
Eight hotel accounts, and what to look for in each
| Hotel or group | Handle | What its own site says | The question to take in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aman | @aman | "36 luxury resorts, hotels & private residences in 21 countries" (aman.com) | How does one account carry 36 properties without turning into a catalogue? |
| Belmond | @belmond | Hotels and resorts, trains, river cruises and safaris (belmond.com) | How do you post four different travel formats in one feed and keep it coherent? |
| Rosewood Hotels | @rosewoodhotels | "a global collection of hotels & resorts" (rosewoodhotels.com) | How much of the feed is the property and how much is the place it sits in? |
| 1 Hotels | @1hotels | "a sustainable luxury hotel experience where nature inspires everything we do" (1hotels.com) | How do you post a value without it reading as a brochure line? |
| Faena | @faena | A brand of "hotels, residences, award-winning restaurants" and culture (faena.com) | How does art and programming get posted alongside rooms? |
| Auberge Collection | @auberge | "hotels, resorts, residences and safaris" (auberge.com) | How does a collection account hand attention to individual property accounts? |
| Nobu Hotels | @nobuhotels | A luxury lifestyle hotel group (nobuhotels.com) | How do you post a hotel when the restaurant is the famous part? |
| Blackberry Farm | @blackberryfarm | "a luxury hotel and resort situated on a pastoral 4,200-acre estate in the Great Smoky Mountains" (blackberryfarm.com) | What does a single property post when there is no portfolio to rotate through? |
Blackberry Farm is the closest of the eight to a founder-led independent, and the one most single-property owners should study first.
How we checked these, and what we did not check
We opened each hotel's own website on 9 November 2026 and took the Instagram handle from the link the hotel publishes, usually in the footer. Handles get squatted and copied, so a link from the hotel's own site is the only reliable way to be sure you are following the real account.
What we did not do: we did not open the Instagram profiles. Instagram redirects this machine to a login page and rate-limits it, so any follower count, post count or engagement rate we printed would be second-hand. There are none on this page for that reason. If you want numbers, open the accounts yourself in a logged-in browser and read them.
We also did not rank these. Eight accounts, in no order, each chosen because it answers a different question.
How to study a hotel account in twenty minutes
Open the account on a phone, not a desktop, because that is how guests see it. Then answer six questions in writing:
- What are the first nine squares telling a person who has never heard of this hotel?
- How many of the last 20 posts are reels, and how many are stills?
- How many posts show a person's face? How many show a staff member?
- What does the bio say in its first line, and what does the link go to?
- Which highlights exist, and what are they named? Would a planner or a guest find what they need?
- Of the last 20 captions, how many give one specific fact you could act on?
The sixth is the one that separates accounts that fill rooms from accounts that look nice. Our caption formulas for the answers are on luxury hotel Instagram captions.
What a single property should copy, and what it should not
Copy:
- The discipline of one subject per post. Big brand accounts almost never put two ideas in one frame.
- Naming things. A suite number, a dish, a stretch of coast.
- Local content that is not the hotel, which is what people actually save.
Do not copy:
- The posting volume. A group account is fed by dozens of properties and a full team. A 24-room hotel posting that often will run out of real material by week three.
- The absence of staff on camera. A brand can afford to be faceless. An independent cannot: the owner, GM or chef is the thing a competitor cannot copy. Our reasoning on that is in boutique hotel social media.
- Paid-production polish as a standard. Two usable phone clips a week beat one film a quarter.
Where SOVE7GN fits
If you want the output of a brand account without the brand team, the practical route is to record the GM, chef or owner for an hour, then post daily from it. One hour of long video usually gives 12 to 20 clips. We cut them, you approve 2 example clips before anything goes live, we go live within 48 hours, and everything posts on your own accounts. Entry is $2,000 a month for 2 clips a day; Growth is $4,000 for 4.

Questions people ask
Which hotel Instagram accounts are worth following?
Aman, Belmond, Rosewood, 1 Hotels, Faena, Auberge Collection, Nobu Hotels and Blackberry Farm, each for a different reason. Follow the ones whose problem matches yours.
How do I know a hotel's Instagram handle is the real one?
Take it from the hotel's own website, usually a social icon in the footer. Every handle on this page was read that way on 9 November 2026.
Why are there no follower counts on this page?
Because we did not read them. Instagram sends this machine to a login page, so any follower numbers here would be copied from somewhere else. Open the accounts yourself if you need counts.
What should a small hotel post if it cannot match a brand account?
The people. The owner, GM, chef or gardener explaining one specific thing is content no group account can produce, and it is cheaper than a shoot.
