Exclusive Resorts Acquires Inspirato to Form Luxury Travel Platform

Exclusive Resorts Investments announced the launch of The Exclusive Collective, a new multi-brand luxury travel and lifestyle platform serving high-net-worth individuals and families seeking a richer, more intentional way of living. The company said, :Built on the understanding that how people travel evolves over time, the platform is structured to grow with its customers, supporting sustained relationships across life stages and travel styles within a single ecosystem. As part of the platform formation, Exclusive Investments has entered into an agreement to acquire and take private Inspirato Incorporated. Upon closing, Inspirato will join Exclusive Resorts and onefinestay, the luxury villa rental and home-management brand, within The Collective-forming one of the most expansive private networks in luxury hospitality. Like onefinestay-in which Exclusive Investments acquired a controlling interest from Accor earlier this year-Inspirato will continue to operate as an independent brand, retaining its subscription-based model." Upon closing of the Inspirato acquisition, The Exclusive Collective will serve more than 25,000 high-net-worth travelers annually across Exclusive Resorts, Inspirato, and onefinestay. The platform will be supported by Exclusive Resorts' $1 billion portfolio of owned private residences, rare journeys, and global partners, together with a broader base of more than 3,000 leased and professionally managed residences operated by Inspirato and onefinestay worldwide. Backed by majority owner Steve Case, Co-Founder of AOL, Chairman and CEO of Revolution, and Chairman of Exclusive Resorts, The Exclusive Collective is expected to generate more than $500M in revenue and approximately $70M in EBITDA in 2026.

Inspirato to be Acquired by Exclusive Investments for $4.27 per Share

Inspirato entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Exclusive Investments. Under the terms of the agreement, Exclusive Investments will acquire all outstanding shares of Inspirato for $4.27 per share in an all-cash transaction, valuing Inspirato at an equity value of approximately $59M on a fully diluted basis. The purchase price represents an approximately 50% premium to Inspirato's closing price on December 16, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the transaction. Following the closing of the transaction, Inspirato will become a privately held company, and Inspirato's Class A common stock will no longer be listed or traded on Nasdaq. Inspirato's Board of Directors has unanimously approved the transaction and intends to recommend that Inspirato shareholders vote to adopt the definitive agreement at a special meeting of the shareholders. In connection with the transaction, Inspirato has entered into a voting and support agreement with Inspirato's largest shareholder and current Chairman and CEO, Payam Zamani, who has agreed-subject to the terms of the agreement-to vote shares he controls, representing in total approximately 36% of Inspirato's shares of Class A common stock, in favor of the transaction. The acquisition of Inspirato is expected to close in early 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Inspirato's shareholders. Once the transaction closes, Zamani will step down from his role as Chairman and CEO of Inspirato. James Henderson, CEO of The Exclusive Collective and Exclusive Resorts, will serve as interim CEO of Inspirato until a permanent successor is appointed.
