At Hotel Chantelle, your safety and security are our top priority. Traveling should be an enjoyable and relaxing experience, which is why we offer products to give you peace of mind when you’re away from home.

We understand how vulnerable one can feel in an unfamiliar hotel room. That’s why we created discreet, easy-to-use products to provide an extra level of protection during your hotel stay. Our products are portable so you can take them with you wherever your travels take you.

Hotel Chantelle was founded in 2019 by Susan Howard, an entrepreneur with a passion for travel safety and security. After dealing with her own unsettling hotel experiences over the years, Susan was inspired to create discreet, portable products to give travelers like herself greater peace of mind while away from home.
