While hotel-branded condos have existed for decades, drawing high-net-worth buyers with their seamless five-star service and hotel-operated amenities, there's a new class of hotel-branded residences captivating the luxury market: ones that offer all the perks of a hotel property without an attached hotel.
These new developments offer gorgeous residences and state-of-the-art amenities, plus the exceptionally devoted service of brands like St. Regis, Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons at your fingertips. They're attracting the same class of buyers looking for a world-class hospitality offering, but without the transience of hotel guests traipsing through their lobby or sharing the amenities. This has become especially important to high-end buyers in the wake of Covid.
