While the lines between hotel guests and owners have blurred in recent years, condo-hotel and resort projects that incorporate privately owned accommodations continue to see success. Many factors contribute to travelers choosing to purchase an ownership stake, including a desire for an upgraded lifestyle, more control over costs and maintenance, and greater privacy and customization of their vacation experience. From the hotel's perspective, condo-hotel units allow for longer average lengths of stay, higher room rates, and more predictable booking patterns compared to traditional hotel rooms. Incorporating condo and villa units can create a seamless, tailored experience for guests while also improving the hotel's financial performance through advanced bookings and reduced commissions.
