We had the good fortune of connecting with Sam Payrovi and Nathalie Paiva and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sam and Nathalie, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
“​​For ARKHAUS, the key to success lies in our team’s drive and energy. Our finance and luxury branding roots have laid the groundwork for high standards and expectations. For those who have followed our journey over the last few years, our hospitality thread has woven through high-touch retail tech to co-working and upscale private events, along with an unplanned pivot to host, produce, and scale one of the largest COVID-19 PPE production facilities in the northeast US. We are always in a relentless pursuit to challenge the status quo and improve our surroundings. We believe that our success so far has been anchored in creating meaningful experiences and authentic connections for our membership. We are proud to have built a strong sense of community and loyalty that sets us apart.”

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
“ARKHAUS is the culmination of our journey and experiences in the hospitality industry. What sets us apart is our unique approach to blending work and play, creating a community that values both innovation and leisure.

Getting to where we are today has been a journey filled with the inevitable hurdles entrepreneurs face, especially as pioneers on a new frontier. Challenges such as logistical planning and a commitment to innovative practices have pushed us to get creative, while maintaining a lean (yet mighty) operation. However, thanks to our team’s resilience and determination, we’ve not only overcome these obstacles but also discovered opportunities within them. We are fortunate to have a team that can find the silver lining in every challenge.

We’ve learned the importance of adaptability, innovation, and most importantly, the value of community. ARKHAUS is more than just a social club; it’s a lifestyle that embraces sustainability, creativity, and collaboration. We’re excited to continue growing and evolving.”

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
For a week-long trip in Miami, start with a luxurious stay at the world-renowned Faena Hotel Miami Beach– and don’t miss the perfectly curated shopping experience across the street at Curio at the Faena Bazaar. Relax and rejuvenate with unmatched sunset views at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach. Experience a lively waterfront brunch at Joia Beach on Jungle Island, a romantic dinner in Mandolin Aegean Bistro’s candle-lit courtyard. Explore Miami’s art and culture at the Perez Art Museum, Vizcaya Museum and Fairchild Tropical Gardens. On any given day, though, you’re likely to catch the ARKHAUS Crew sharing a self-serve cheese & charcuterie plate at Lagniappe, one of our favorite local hangouts.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
“We’d love to give a shoutout to our incredible Environmental Advisory Board at ARKHAUS. Their dedication to environmental stewardship and their passion for driving positive change have been instrumental in shaping our vision and guiding our decisions. Their expertise and insights have been invaluable as we strive to set a new standard for conscious hospitality. A big thank you to Seth Bloomgarden, Daniel Kleinman, Merle Liivand, Sophie Ringel, and the entire board for their unwavering support and commitment to our mission.”
