There\u2019s nothing particularly complicated about the concept: you buy out a hotel, and you and your circle get it nearly all to yourself. In an era where tight circles have become exclusive pods and exclusive pods have become entire social lives, booking the whole hotel has become an increasingly appealing option, no longer the sole purview of the wedding party or corporate retreat.<\/p>\n
The most interesting part might just be the cost. In some cases, it\u2019s justifiably high. But at others it\u2019s far from prohibitive. In Tuscany, La Bandita<\/a> offers their entire eight-room country house starting at $2,000 per night. At the Attwater<\/a> in Newport, Rhode Island, twelve rooms can go for $3,600. And at Gold Diggers<\/a> in L.A., five rooms and five suites run an estimated $3,700. If you\u2019re starting to do division and counting your favorite friends on your fingers, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n \u201cThe demand for buyouts has increased since the pandemic,\u201d confirms Nina Libby, whose Caldera House<\/a> \u2014 an eight-suite luxury boutique in Jackson Hole where a buyout starts at $21,900\/night \u2014 is the exact type of place where the concept thrives. These days, it\u2019s not just the small size of Caldera House that\u2019s perfect for a buyout. It\u2019s the location. If there\u2019s a corner of the world that makes its reputation on the appeal of the outdoors, it\u2019s Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Many buyouts come from groups \u201cthat just want a destination with plenty of outdoor activities.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not only leisure escapes driving the trend; buyouts have seen their share of professional use. Rufus Wainwright took over the Paramour Estate<\/a> in Los Angeles to orchestrate a socially distanced live album in the vast ballroom. In another part of town, Gold Diggers found itself an appealing option for film crews looking to quarantine during production.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of families and friends doing micro-pods,\u201d adds Emma Goodwin, co-owner of the Surfrider<\/a> \u2014 an intimate boutique hotel on the Malibu coast that, like Caldera House, is perfectly set up for outdoor recreation. The Surfrider’s twenty rooms might be more than a micro-pod needs, but with a buyout, it’s just you and your pre-approved fellow guests whether you fill the entire hotel or not.<\/p>\n But obvious as the isolated perks of the buyout may be, the greatest benefit from a hospitality perspective might be the undivided attention of hotel staff. As we\u2019ve reached out to hotels about the process, we\u2019ve heard just how personalized food and beverage, activities, transportation options, and even in-room amenities can be when the full resources of a hotel are focused on the needs of a single group. It\u2019s simple. \u201cFor buyouts, we are more involved in the planning process,\u201d says Libby. A regular guest at the Caldera House gets a dedicated concierge assigned to their room. \u201cSo if a group books, they are getting our entire concierge team.\u201d<\/p>\n Not to mention, hotels that usually leave their restaurants or other public spaces available to the public may close those spaces entirely or give the group an option to reserve them. The spa and gym at Caldera House are typically open to members. Buy them out and you can have them to yourself, at your preferred times, for exclusive use.<\/p>\n A hotel can only fulfill a buyout if no rooms are yet booked. If you\u2019re interested in trying one this summer or even next winter, it\u2019s never too soon to start exploring options.
