AUBERGE RESORTS LLC Launches Immersive VR Escape: Redefining Luxury Travel Preview

Mill Valley, CA – October 26, 2023 – AUBERGE RESORTS LLC, a leading developer of curated luxury hospitality experiences, today unveiled a groundbreaking virtual reality (VR) simulator designed to give potential guests a truly immersive preview of their award-winning properties. This isn't your typical hotel tour; it's a full-blown digital escape that lets you feel the Auberge difference before you even pack your bags. For those unfamiliar, Auberge Resorts LLC, based right here in Mill Valley, California, has been building a reputation for crafting unforgettable stays for over two decades. We’re not about cookie-cutter hotels. We’re about intimate, design-forward resorts nestled in some of the most breathtaking locations on Earth – from the sun-drenched hills of Napa Valley to the pristine beaches of Los Cabos and the lush landscapes of Bali. We’re all about creating experiences, not just providing accommodations. And now, we're bringing that experience to you, wherever you are. So, what's this VR simulator all about? Forget flipping through pictures on a website or watching a glossy promotional video. This simulator isn't about showing you Auberge – it's about transporting you there. We've painstakingly recreated several of our most iconic resorts in stunning virtual reality, allowing potential guests to virtually walk the grounds, explore the suites, dine at the restaurants, and even relax by the pool – all from the comfort of their own homes or travel agencies. "We're always looking for ways to connect with our guests on a deeper level," explains Sarah Miller, Auberge Resorts LLC's VP of Innovation. "We know people are busy. They want to make informed decisions, and they want to be excited about their travel plans. This VR simulator delivers that excitement. It lets them experience the magic of Auberge before they commit to a booking." What can you do in the simulator? The simulator isn't just a static visual experience. It's interactive and surprisingly realistic. Here's a taste of what you can expect: Explore Resort Grounds: Virtually walk through the lush gardens of Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, or stroll along the white-sand beaches of Esperanza in Los Cabos. The detail is incredible – you can practically smell the ocean breeze or feel the warmth of the sun. Suite Tours: Step inside our most luxurious suites and penthouses. Browse the amenities, admire the décor, and get a feel for the space. We've paid attention to every detail, from the plush bedding to the curated artwork. Imagine waking up to those views...now you can almost do it! Dining Experiences: "Visit" our signature restaurants and peruse the menus. You can even visualize yourself enjoying a delicious meal prepared by our award-winning chefs. We’ve created a ‘tasting menu’ experience within the simulator – purely visual, of course, but it’s enough to get your mouth watering. Activity Previews: Want to know what a private yoga session overlooking the ocean looks like? Or what it's like to go horseback riding through the mountains? The simulator offers previews of our most popular activities, giving you a glimpse of the adventures that await. Ambient Soundscapes: We’ve gone beyond visuals. The simulator features realistic ambient soundscapes – the crashing waves, the chirping birds, the gentle music – to create a truly immersive experience. Interactive Elements: Within certain resorts, we've integrated interactive elements. Imagine "picking" fruit from a virtual orchard at a Napa Valley property or "mixing" a cocktail at a beachside bar. These small touches enhance the realism and engagement. How is Auberge Resorts LLC using this technology? The VR simulator isn't just a fun gimmick. It's a strategic investment in enhancing the customer experience and driving bookings. Here's how we’re rolling it out: Travel Agency Partnerships: We're equipping select travel agencies with the VR simulator, allowing their clients to experience Auberge Resorts LLC firsthand. This allows agents to provide a truly personalized and engaging consultation. Luxury Trade Shows: We’ll be showcasing the simulator at major luxury travel trade shows, giving potential guests and travel professionals a chance to experience Auberge Resorts LLC for themselves. On-Site Demonstrations: We're planning to offer VR demonstrations at select resorts, allowing guests to preview other Auberge properties. Home-Based Experiences: We are exploring options for sending VR headsets directly to potential high-value clients, offering a truly exclusive and personalized preview. Website Integration: A simplified, browser-based version of the simulator will be integrated into our website, allowing anyone with a computer or smartphone to experience a taste of Auberge Resorts LLC. The Future of Luxury Travel? Auberge Resorts LLC believes that VR technology has the potential to revolutionize the way people plan and experience travel. “We see this as just the beginning,” says Miller. “We’re constantly exploring new ways to leverage VR and other immersive technologies to enhance the customer experience and create unforgettable memories. Imagine ‘trying before you buy’ not just a hotel room, but the entire vacation experience! That’s what we’re striving for." The Auberge Resorts LLC VR simulator is more than just a technology demonstration; it’s a glimpse into the future of luxury travel – a future where experiences are personalized, immersive, and unforgettable.
