The Exclusive Collective has formally launched as a new multi-brand luxury travel platform, anchored by Exclusive Resorts and onefinestay, with an agreement in place to acquire Inspirato Incorporated and take it private. The transaction, announced today, is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Inspirato’s stockholders.
Parent company Exclusive Resorts Investments confirmed that, upon closing, Inspirato will join Exclusive Resorts and onefinestay within the Exclusive Collective while continuing to operate as an independent brand. Inspirato will retain its subscription-based model, joining Exclusive Resorts’ members-only club structure and onefinestay’s invitation-only private rental and home management portfolio.
The platform brings together three distinct models under a single ownership structure. Exclusive Resorts will continue as a referral-based membership club with a limited community of families. Inspirato remains positioned as a more flexible subscription offering for a broader high-net-worth audience. Onefinestay operates a global portfolio of professionally managed private homes, villas, and chalets, with an emphasis on primary gateway cities and resort destinations.
“At its core, The Exclusive Collective is about choice and continuity,” James Henderson, CEO of The Exclusive Collective and Exclusive Resorts, said. “For more than two decades, we’ve watched how our members’ lives evolve—the way they travel in their 40s often looks very different from how they travel later with grown children and friends.”
Geographically, the combined platform spans key urban and leisure markets worldwide. Onefinestay’s portfolio includes approximately 3,000 homes across destinations such as London, Paris, New York City, and Los Angeles. Inspirato contributes more than 300 vacation homes and hotel partners globally, while Exclusive Resorts brings a portfolio valued at approximately $1 billion in owned private residences and experiences.
Once the Inspirato acquisition closes, the Exclusive Collective is expected to serve more than 25,000 high-net-worth travelers annually across the three brands. Financial projections shared with the announcement estimate more than $500 million in revenue and approximately $70 million in EBITDA in 2026. The platform is majority-owned and backed by Steve Case, co-founder of AOL and chairman of Exclusive Resorts.
“By uniting these companies under The Exclusive Collective, we believe the combined platform will be well-positioned to help shape the next wave of innovation in luxury hospitality—one that aligns with shifting consumer expectations around flexibility, community, and personalized experiences,” Case said.
Operationally, the brands will share real estate management capabilities and operating infrastructure, while maintaining separate brand identities and customer models. Onefinestay’s home management business continues to serve homeowners and developers, while Inspirato and Exclusive Resorts focus on access-based travel models rather than ownership.
The next milestone for the Exclusive Collective is the completion of the Inspirato transaction, pending regulatory and stockholder approvals. Upon closing, the platform will operate as a privately held, multi-brand organization with all three businesses active under a single ownership umbrella.
