What Is an Urban Resort and Why Are They Becoming So Popular?

In recent years, many leading timeshare brands have strengthened and expanded their property portfolios to popular, bustling destinations around the world to meet the needs of the newer generation of vacationers. An urban resort is a high-end accommodation option for travelers looking to stay in the center of their favorite cities with many of the same amenities offered at resorts on expansive properties in more rural, spacious areas. These buildings often focus on high-end designs and decor that reflect the places they are located, utilize both indoor and outdoor space, and offer impeccable views. These are just the first of many reasons so many owners are looking forward to what these properties will and do offer:

Benefits of an Urban Resort

On-Site Amenities—Rooftop pools, expansive concierge services, upscale bars, locally-inspired menus, outdoor courtyards, full-service spas, state-of-the-art fitness centers, and spacious suites make urban resorts not only ideal for their locations but all of the offerings that are meticulously chosen for these efficient properties.

Access to a Number of Attractions—Nearly every major city is known for at least one specific attraction, whether that be sporting events, museums, concert venues, seasonal celebrations, zoos, aquariums, or something else similar! Many of these attractions are for people of all ages, which means that no matter who you are traveling with, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

Countless Activities—In addition to the headlining attractions in these cities, there are so many other activities to try! Instead of spending the day on the property, urban resorts encourage visitors to see what the city has to offer! With hundreds of restaurants, local parks, transportation rentals, tours, historic sites, architectural buildings, and more, you’re always going to find something to do or somewhere to visit during your stay.

Easy Transportation Opportunities—Being located in a major city means it will not only be simple to get to and from the airport will not only be simple, but you will also be able to easily travel to all of your favorite destinations without having to spend money on a rental car. Ride-sharing apps, taxis, buses, subways, trains, as well as some other fun options like bike rentals and boats are often available in these places.

Become a Local—Spending less time traveling and more time exploring all areas of these impressive cities provides urban resort timeshare owners with ample opportunity to get off the resort property, immerse themselves in the surrounding culture, and feel like a local in just a short time. In only a few days, they will feel a part of this diverse and distinct community they’ll want to return to year after year.
