About the company

ResortPass is redefining what it means to be a hotel guest. We’re building a new category in hospitality: day access to luxury hotel experiences from breathtaking pools and private beaches to deluxe spas and wellness recharges so people can escape without an overnight stay.

Our marketplace now connects guests with 2,300+ partner hotels and resorts, including Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Marriott Hilton, and more. We’ve helped millions of people enjoy premium hospitality close to home, making rest more mindful, togetherness more meaningful, and escape more accessible. The result: unforgettable experiences for guests and new revenue streams for partners.

Backed by some of the best consumer and growth investors, including CRV, Declaration, Brian Kelly (The Points Guy), WME, FJ Labs, and more, ResortPass is scaling a product people love and creating an entirely new way to experience hospitality.
