AUBERGE RESORTS LLC Launches Immersive VR Escape with Cutting-Edge Simulator

Mill Valley, CA – October 26, 2023 – AUBERGE RESORTS LLC, a leader in crafting uniquely immersive and experiential travel, today announced the launch of their revolutionary VR simulator, poised to redefine how guests preview and engage with their luxury resorts. Based in Mill Valley, California, AUBERGE is known for its commitment to providing unforgettable experiences, and this new technology takes that commitment to a whole new level. For years, AUBERGE RESORTS LLC (reach them at 317-869-7879) has been dedicated to offering more than just a stay; they offer a journey. They've handpicked locations and designed resorts to feel authentically connected to their surroundings – whether it’s the rugged coast of California, the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, or the vibrant energy of a tropical paradise. But getting a real feel for a place before you even pack your bags? That’s always been a bit of a challenge. Until now. AUBERGE’s new VR simulator isn’t just a pretty video. It's a fully immersive experience built from the ground up to transport potential guests inside their resorts. Forget scrolling through pictures or watching promotional videos – you can now walk the grounds, explore the rooms, and feel the atmosphere, all from the comfort of a dedicated kiosk or even your own home (more on that later!). So, what makes this VR simulator different? It's not just about slick graphics (though those are pretty amazing, too). AUBERGE's team spent months capturing 360-degree imagery and spatial audio from each of their resorts, creating a hyper-realistic environment. But they didn't stop there. "We wanted to go beyond just ‘looking around’," explains Sarah Chen, Head of Innovation at AUBERGE RESORTS LLC. “We’ve integrated interactive elements. You can open closet doors, turn on the lights, even ‘pour’ yourself a drink at the bar and see how it looks from that spot. It’s about creating a visceral connection to the space.” Here’s a peek at what you can experience: Resort Walkthroughs: Explore the lobbies, pools, restaurants, and guest rooms of AUBERGE’s signature resorts. Get a feel for the design aesthetic, the flow of the space, and the stunning views. Room Selection: “Imagine you’re deciding between a garden-view suite and an oceanfront villa,” says Chen. “With the simulator, you can virtually walk into both and decide which one speaks to you. You can even see the view at different times of day!” Activity Previews: Thinking about a spa treatment? The simulator offers a virtual tour of the spa facilities and a glimpse of the relaxation areas. Interested in a cooking class? You can virtually step into the kitchen and see the setup. Local Exploration: AUBERGE isn’t just about the resort itself. They’re about the destination. The simulator includes virtual tours of nearby attractions, hiking trails, and charming towns, giving you a taste of the local culture. Personalized Experiences: AUBERGE is exploring ways to personalize the VR experience based on guest preferences. “We envision a future where you can virtually ‘decorate’ a room before you arrive, or even plan your itinerary within the simulator,” Chen explains. From Kiosks to Your Living Room: Initially, the VR simulator will be available at select travel agencies and AUBERGE resort locations. Kiosks will be equipped with high-end VR headsets and comfortable seating, creating a truly immersive experience. But AUBERGE isn’t stopping there. They’re also developing a “lite” version of the simulator for at-home access through VR headsets and even smartphones. This will allow potential guests to experience a taste of AUBERGE’s luxury from anywhere in the world. “We believe this technology has the power to transform the way people plan their vacations,” says David Lee, CEO of AUBERGE RESORTS LLC. “It's about giving guests a truly authentic preview of their experience, building excitement, and ultimately, creating unforgettable memories.” The details: Company: AUBERGE RESORTS LLC Address: 1060 REDWOOD HWY FRONTAGE RD, MILL VALLEY, CA, 94941-1613, UNITED STATES Phone: 317-869-7879 Website: (To be announced - check www.aubergeresorts.com for updates) VR Simulator Launch: Available at select locations starting November 15, 2023.
